Week 24 - Take It Easy
11/06/12 - Rest Day 12/06/12 - Swansea Bay 5km This was the second race of the Swansea bay 5km series, I had a previous time of 20.46, but I had a feeling that I wasn't going to beat it. It was similar conditions as the previous run, but I felt tired in the legs even though I had a rest day the day previous to the race. When I hit the last 400 meters I felt a tightness in the top of my leg, so I eased off and my lungs were so happy for it as the burn was getting worse. My work rate throughout the 5km stayed the same as the previous race average heart was 181 BPM, and I went straight into zone 5 and stayed there till the finish line. At the finish line I looked at my watch to see I was 22 seconds slower than the previous month, but I have been working on endurance and not speed for the past 15 weeks so I'm not going to complain.. too much!
