I felt really good on that, I’ve never been able to do even ish splits in a 5k race. Huge headwind going out as well. I didn’t think I’d be doing sub 20s anytime soon either, last sub 20 5k I done was the handicap last year, but I think for me last night was an official 5K PB because it was chipped and rather count it at that. I think I managed 7th, which I was pretty shocked with but appreciate it might be a smaller race, really enjoyed that and absolutely buzzing with the result thanks for all the help so far!
I also barely looked at my watch I just looked at it probably 2-3 times to check HR and pace but I went mainly off feel in that.
Strava giving you a PB too so reckon it was. I think little things can make a big difference. The easier session Tuesday, lower effort on your easy run, strides pre race and even just that confidence being on plan gives you. So I’m not too surprised as I know how good you are and was always just a matter of time, albeit this is quick. But fantastic running, to do that with a tricky wind as well shows there’s more to come from that one. You should be buzzing, you put in a lot of hard work in the build up to Brighton and that too will have made a big difference. Congrats on such a fantastic run. Really pleased for you Cam.
