Pacing ; how to get it right?
I have a regular 5km run and a PB of 24:42 for this route... which seems a bit of a fluke given recent performance on the same route.
Today, I set off with my Fitbit on as usual so I get 1km pacing updates. All good for a few km - seemingly at my usual 5:10 per km ( ish ) pace ...
By my reckoning I thought at this pace I’d have some left in the tank for a quick final km...
However, on getting to the 4km mark I didn’t feel I had it in me, so decided to plod on...
... and that turned out to be my fastest km of the 5k ...when I thought I was maintaining 5:10 pace.
Clearly, I haven’t really got a clue how fast I’m going ... is there an app to update more frequently than my Fitbit 1km updates ?
