My 7th parkrun at Underwood. A friend wants to do 10 there for his repeat index, we thought, why not join him. I have not been running that well lately, so I thought I would just run the 1st, 3rd, and 5th kilometres hard and just cruise in between. I had a good warm-up on the netball courts but still struggled to get going at the start. It is hard to tell on the heart rate bar chart, but you can sort of see where it dips 10 beats a minute in kilometres 2 and 4. It must be the difference of just above threshold and just under threshold running for me where I am at, at the moment. I have my garmin set, so that is the top of my zone 3 and bottom of my zone 4, which seems about right.
553rd parkrun done. Overall, it was a little slower than I would like, but hopefully, not pushing hard the whole way might make me recover a bit faster and help focus on some more speed work during the week.
