I was hoping for sub 20, but this beat my previous pr from 2.5 years ago. :) Factors in my control - I took the last week really easy and felt really ready for the run. - I ate a bunch of beets last night. - I've got a good amount of sleep over the last week. - Life stress is good. Factors of out my control - it was colder then I was hoping for -9 feels like -15 when I was looking at the weather earlier in the week it was supposed to be -5. - The road had a bit of snow on it making me occasionally slip. - There was a slight west wind which was really helpful for going up the small hill on Ferris. What's next? vEverest next Saturday. Going to run and bike for a fun for a couple of weeks, then start another 5km training plan. I didn't feel good after 2km as you could see by the positive splits, so I would hope to do an all out 10min up 13 min efforts to better simulate this. Maybe 2 mile repeats. Not looking for more intense days in a week, just higher intensity on those days.
