Its all in the timing

This morning's Berwick Springs parkrun ritual (and how I love parkrun) was focused on consistent pace.  Aiming for somewhere in the range of 5:40 and 6:00 per km, the amazingly amazing Judy powered strongly through all 5 kilometres, which looked a bit like this;

1km    5:47

2km    5:35    11:22

3km    5:43    17:04

4km    5:42    22:46

5km    5:50    28:36

A much more solid and consistent effort than the previous week;

1km    5:41

2km    5:45    11:26

3km    6:02    17:27

4km    6:06    23:34

5km    5:32    29:06

I will add though - last week we ran through heavy rain and hail + managed another 2km in sopping wet clothes, socks, shoes afterwards.

And to throw in a third set of figures, the week before that, at Albert park run sat somewhere between the two for overall time, but the improvement in km consistency is great.

1km    5:59

2km    5:31    11:30

3km    5:38    17:08

4km    5:59    23:06

5km    5:50    28:56

Here's a new PB measure - smallest gap between km pace.

15 vs 26 vs 28.

Goal: single figure variance.
