Notes

A bit unexpected but a 5K PB by 2 whole seconds!

I knew that I could get close to PB if I was running on a flattish course and Örebro was just that. A little bit up and down, not as flat as Strathclyde but much flatter than Haga. I'm not in as good a shape as Oct 2016 but a PB us a PB!

Took the first km hard and was well up on PB pace but was pretty disheartened when i saw the 2nd split. At 2.5km I had resigned myself to aiming for sub22 only. But then the 3km and 4km were both at target pace so I thought that if I pushed the last km then I might break 21! Accounting for GPS inaccuracies I was 1 second down on sub21 at 4km but, alas, the last km broke me and I struggled on some smaller hills.

On a flatter course (i.e. Strathy) and on a not as sunny day, then I reckon I might get sub21. Later this month, maybe?
