Strides went well this morning. Didn’t push too hard on them. Parkrun
1k felt good and didn’t go out as hard as I did last week
2k settled down behind someone and just used them to keep my mind off the fact I was running.
3k turn around point was feeling strong again and realised the sub 18 was well within reach.
4K followed someone again to get through that last push towards the last 1k
5k pushed hard but didn’t leave it all out there (should have done)
I think strides before a quick parkrun can make a huge difference as then 5k pace feels that bit easier. Glad you felt strong today and if you run a PB and still have more in the locker then there is a lot to be excited about. Stride length was super impressive as well which is always a really good stat to keep track off. Feel like you’re just getting started with your running. Awesome work Shain.
