The plan for this morning's tempo run was
- 2 km warm up, stretch
- run 1km at 7:30min
- run 5km at 7:10min-per-km pace
- slow jog 500m
- run 5km at 7:00min-per-km pace
- 1km cool down
Since it was such a cool morning (23-24C) with light intermittent showers, I managed 30 seconds better than the stipulated pace. Surprisingly, my HR was lower than I expected. Below 150 bpm for the first 5 km tempo run, and a shade above 160 during the second 5 km tempo run. Added two 100m strides towards the end, pushing HR up to 167.
Felt comfortable and relaxed this morning, didn't feel like a regular tempo run which I normally do a 6:00 pace with some hills (but HR above 160).
