Races

Very hot and humid day, so not the best conditions and didn't cope as well as I would have liked. It showed with the significantly slower 5K but was pleased overall because even though I slowed I continued to work my way through the field overtaking people most of the way. Average HR suggests I probably didn't try as hard as I could despite how tired I felt at the end though.

First "race" in my Nike Vaporflys and pleased with how they went. Fastest time on this course by ~40 seconds, some of which can be attributed to the shoes but also some to improving fitness. Fastest parkrun since December 2022. Happy with that, and still can go faster.

Bit of a long shot but wanted to see if I could get close to recent decent time by starting slow and progressing. Did not, but happy with effort nonetheless.

Unexpectedly bumped into university running friend which gave me motivation to put in a harder effort than I initially planned to.
