To day i did a 9KM run. I kept it pretty even paced until in the last lap when the sun came shining to its best, already the humidity was high, where i lost around 10 seconds. But sometimes tough conditions are good tune ups for the actual races.
Following were my splits.
2.2 km - 12.41
4.4 km -13.09
6.6 km - 13.09
8.8 km - 13.20
4oomtr- 2.13
---------------
9.2 km - 54.34
---------------
It was a commitment, well accomplished in time.
So what i think is that i am not far away from the 10Km mark. Not bad!

Running workouts
It feels great to do all kinds of running workouts.
I am trying my hand at both slow, fast and mixed pace workouts.
At the slower side, i try to maintain momentum at around a 6 min per Km pace.
The fast days to me are intervals of 1 Km at a sub 5min pace.
And medium days, i try to run around 5Km, starting with 6 min pace, then gradually build to 5 min pace and finish the last 800mtrs at a 4 min pace. This gives kind of a good practice for a strong finish.
Bottom line is to maintain a good form and get the most out of the day, have a sweaty but smiling face.
-Happy running
