Hastings Runners Handicap 5K

LOAD: 30

2km WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)

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.

At this stage of the plan, this is just a run to go out and enjoy. Do your best and that’s all you can ever ask. Good luck.

ENJOYMENT

RPE

😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

PACE

When I went off I tried to slow my pace which I think I did ok with, felt that I kept a steady pace throughout. Surprised myself only needing two short walking breaks which were on the way back which felt good! Was pleased with my time

Pacing is probably the most important thing when it comes to races but it takes practice. It sounds like you’re starting to find your own pace though which is great and will allow for less walking breaks. Glad you enjoyed the race and were pleased with the time. It’s been a good start to the plan. Well done Chrissy.
