5K Tempo Run – Raining – 26m 10s
Posted on Jun 03, 2008 under 5k, Tempo Runs | No CommentAn Ok run, but not good in the way I’ve come to expect. Had a bit of trouble with my knee warming up (sometimes the cartilage pops out and I can’t straighten the leg, I have to do contortions to pop it back in – have lived with it for 15 years, my knee just doesn’t like odd angles!) Anyway, found run hard to get going – in fact my lungs seem to be fighting for breath earlier and earlier on runs, and although I manage to keep going, sometimes I get frustrated waiting for the feeling of comfortable running to set in!
Was aiming to beat my last training time of 26m 06s for 5k – but in the end struggled over the line in 26 10, although with no stop for traffic this time, that made it even slower – and I thought I would knock at least a few seconds off
Might be a lot of factors – have not slept for a few nights so might be affecting my performance?
