Hastings Runners Handicap 5K

LOAD: 30

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
8 x 100 Metres Strides (RPE: 8)

5km @ 5k Pace (RPE: 7-9)

2km CD @ East Pace (RPE: 3)

So important to know your 5k pace and stick to that at the start. The temptation is to go off too fast and try to catch people up quickly, don’t. Keep it consistent, trust your pacing and then in that final km you’ll start to catch those that have made that mistake.

Trust your 5k pace. Don’t go chasing early on and if some people go past you, let them go, likelihood is they’ve started too fast. If you save energy for that final km you’ll pick a lot of runners off and have a much more enjoyable run.

FEEDBACK

ENJOYMENT

RPE

😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

PACE

All done and really enjoyed this event. Everyone is very friendly and it makes it a great atmosphere. Wish I had remembered my watch but managed to pace myself off other runners so hopefully put in a good time. Thanks Simon for organising 😊

The club is fantastic. The atmosphere in these races is always like this. I would highly recommend doing all the club races if you can. And well done on such a brilliant time Dan. Those little extras like WU and strides can make a difference.
