Pacing is everything when it comes to a 10k race. The first half of the race should feel controlled and then you’ll really have to dig deep as the RPE rises. Try and maintain consistent splits throughout. If the route is undulating be sure to do your homework so you know when the hills are coming and how long they will last.

ENJOYMENT

RPE

😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

PACE

Progression WU with strides. Race itself was okay. Mixture of grass, path, trails and hills. Started controlled for 2 miles. 3rd mile had the hill. Once we turned for home I pushed on put in the effort. Finished strong with a sprint finish. CD completed. 2023 I ran the same race and was only 40 secs slower today so feel we are still moving in the right direction.

I was impressed with the pace factoring in the conditions. Sometimes these sort of races are a brilliant training session and that can be the best way to treat them. We can definitely push ourselves that little bit harder in a race environment. Really feeling like that improvement is happening and hopefully the confidence is growing alongside it. Great work Dan.
