10km run on 20 Apr 2015 Monday-PB
I managed to run a life time best of 50min21.87sec for the 10,000m at the stadium near where I live on the 20 April 2015, Monday. (on a standard 400m track) I have been running well by my standard lately and I was quite confident that I would get this PB sooner or later. My plan was to stick to a 2:03 per lap pace for most of the 1st 24 laps and go all out for the last lap which would enable me to break my previous PB of 51min3sec. 24 laps at 2min3sec per lap would give me 49min12sec and I would just need 1min47plus sec to break 51min. I usually can do a 1min40-45sec quite easily for 1 single 400m lap.
I did better than 2:03 per lap on Monday. Here's my breakdown of the 25 laps.
1) 2:03.065 2) 2:04.922 3) 2:00.727 4) 2:00.506 5)2:03.361 6)2:01.851 7) 2:00.599 8)2:01.396
9) 2:01.746 10) 2:01.341 11) 2:00.575 12) 2:00.862 13)2:02.159 14) 2:04.905 15) 2:03.813
16) 2:02.737 17) 2:02.608 18) 2:03.354 19) 2:04.187 20) 2:02.847 21) 2:01.921 22)2:01.892
23) 1:59.319 24) 1:55.124 25) 1:36.043
I reached 1 km in 5min8sec, 2km in 10min12sec, 3km in15min15sec, 4km in 20min19.5sec, 5km in 25min21sec, 6km in 30min31.8sec, 7km in 35min39sec, 8km in 40min47.5sec, 9km in 45min51.
Per km breakdown was 5min8sec, 5min4sec, 5min3sec, 5min4.5sec, 5min2sec,5min10sec, 5min7sec, 5min8sec, 5min4sec and 4min25sec. I was getting faster from the 1st km to the 5th km but got slow from the 6th to the 8th km and managed to get fast for the 9th km and then just hanged on all the way for the last km. I was well inside the 51min mark and PB by about 42 seconds. I was happy and not overjoy as I know I can still run faster. I need to really take care of my energy needs as I could definitely feel that my body was getting tired from the 7th km onwards but managed to maintain a somewhat constant pace.
I always wonder how I would feel when I hit a new PB, and this time round I was happy but did not expect my body to feel so tired towards the last 2 to 3km.
