Half marathon loop splits

We did our usual Wednesday half marathon loop today with 5x5 minutes pushes for the final 30 minutes or so. Russ was without his Garmin and Scott was being careful with his ankle injury so I lead the pushes.

After a careful start I ran pretty hard on the second and third pushes with the result that the final two pushes were tough. However, all in all the level of perceived effort wasn't as high as previous weeks and the splits were the fastest so far. Averages were:

1 - 3.52/km (6.14/mile)
2 - 3.40/km (5.54/mile)
3 - 3.37/km (5.50/mile)
4 - 3.40/km (5.55/mile)
5 - 3.39/km (5.53/mile)

Encouraging!
