First of two track 5ks which will encompass the entirety of my outdoor track season. Had hopes of running 77 pace, made a brave go of it but by halfway it was clear I wouldn't be able to hold on to that pace and the slide proceeded in relentless fashion from there. In the end averaged 79s which makes the Deek workout from the other day an accurate predictor after all if one assumes those 400 splits to be 1-2 sec. average faster than 5k pace. Still, I feel there's a bit more in the tank. The whole experience today was quite fraught in fact thanks to ongoing complications from potential side effects of recently prescribed medication. Felt tired and vaguely lightheaded most of the day despite best efforts to lay low. Warmup was thorough, conditions were a bit warm but generally quite favorable. Splits:
3:12
(1600 - 5:08)
3:13
3:17
(3200 - 10:22)
3:23
(4800 - 15:49)
3:25
