Saturday morning, a cloudy day after a light rain, Since @niko.lemark had some obligations to fulfill this morning we stayed at home. While waiting for Niko I had a couple of hours time. I went to a track nearby, Slovan stadium in Kodeljevo.
The goal was to run a Yasso exercise in 3:40 for two laps.
The execution? Almost perfect. In last couple of rounds I couldn't really keep 1:50 laps. I was late a second or two. No problem. It's early in the season and I did no pace work at all so far.
Satisfied with the outcome, almost 16 K at 5:10 average pace which is great.
I always marvel at the average pace achieved after pace workouts. It's way better than I would have thought. Or, looking at it from the other perspective. Would I be able to run a 16 K tempo run at a 5:10 pace? No way!
Wondering about the title? I am simply grateful to be able to run and have fun, that's all.
