Normally you probably wouldn’t do a session this tough so early in your plan. It’s one the hardest we do. But with the 5 miler next week, a few of us were doing it anyway so I snuck it in. You hit 5k pace for 5 miles which is bloody brilliant. The one big difference from a session like this and a race is the likelihood you’ll be running in a group or pack for much of the 5 Miler. That really helps reduce perceived effort. So if you can do this pace solo around the park, I think you’ll find it easier on race day. Fantastic running Lou.
