Session 72/2014 – Positive surprise, pace test – 15.5 km – 21.06.2014

I wish I’d be as fast as Javier Gomes, World Triathlon World Champion at the Cape Town Triathlon in April 2014

I really wanted to go out for a run today. Seems like I am recovered from Comrades 2014 3 weeks ago. It’s a good sign to feel the urge for a run. Last week I was not yet ready for it, this week I am.

Next week I’ll run a half marathon and today I wanted to test the pace I am currently able to run. I was aiming for a 5:10 min/km, and ended up running a 5:03 min/km.

The average heart rate was 167, which is a bit too high. But if you remember that I did not really train for the last 3 weeks, I am very satisfied with this.
