Having a look at my statistics before todays run made me realise my weakest point is always my fourth kilometre. It stays true for my diet as well, I always start to waiver on Thursday/Friday before a big finish. So with that in mind this week I’m going to give it my best shot to improve that and avoid the mental weakness late in the run and the week.
The statistics to back this fact up have my average km in the 1,2,3,5th kilometres at 5:57. The 4th km is 6:17. So I tried to concentrate on maintaining my energy levels through that kilometre on tonights run and I managed to run it in 5:34. It did lead to slower times on either side and I had to fight the brain going “slow down now and save your energy for the fourth”. I think I’ll keep working on it as it helped me achieve a PB of 0:27:49 which means I’m ‘only’ 2:50 of getting under the 25 minute mark. Harder said that done as my fastest km so far has been 5:20, which is a long way off averaging 5mins for an entire run!
On the 12kg of Christmas I managed to lose another 400gm last week that takes me to 2.2kg in the first 2 weeks. Once again my Thursday and Fridays let me down so will try and concentrate on that this week. Grand Final on Saturday so will try and go for a run before it in case I hear beer calling!
Have a great week
