Running race 19:57 [5] 5.0 km (3:59 / km) +1m 3:59 / km
shoes: Brooks Ravenna 5
This time it's official - I cracked 20 minutes! My watch time was 19:59 and the time I was given over the line was 19:58, so I'll go with 19:58!
I didn't really feel like this was going to be a good day for a hard run, but I thought I may as well give it a red hot go. Started off nice and quick, figuring that I was more likely to maintain a pace than lift it. The pace was starting to slow a bit but no more than about a second or two per km. At 3km I was equal with my 3km PB of 11:57 and 4km was 16:05 - so the 4th km was a struggle.
I kicked as much as I could with about 300m left and could see the time ticking away. Just managed to crash over the line with 1 second to spare.
(Apparently Parkrun results have a timing error - I haven't looked yet - but this time I'm sticking with a sub 20min run)

10 x 400m @ 5k pace with 400m jog recoveries. All pretty comfortable. Often the issue was keeping the pace to 5k pace and not any faster.
Goal time was 96 seconds; 97, 95, 96, 95, 94, 94, 96, 94, 94, 91
