5K Run Time Trial

Date/Time: 21 Jan / 1745
Weather: Sunny, Glaring and Windy


This 5K TT turns out to be a surprise while Darren and I are calculating our splits for the interval sets. Coach set a timing for me of 21mins while i managed to bargain till 21min 30sec. In order to meet this timing, i have to run averaging 1:43/lap or 25-26sec/100m.

The following is the splits

Lap Timing
1 00:51
2 01:45
3 01:45
4 01:46
5 01:45
6 01:47
7 01:45
8 01:47
9 01:49
10 01:48
11 01:51
12 01:50
13 01:43


Can see that the bull whip effect kicks in at the 6-7th lap. At 9th lap, decided to let Darren go ahead which his own pace as i cant keep up with the 1:45 timing anymore. Don't know how the hell, i ran1:43 for the last lap.

Didn't do well for this TT,
  1. Felt tightness on the lower back, left hand side.Not sure is it due to carry too much heavy stuffs in Ritz. Coach says it might be i have a shorter leg, resulting one of the leg to pound harder.
  2. Form is totally off! Had resorted to use hands to support my lower back. Lucky no photographers
  3. Legs are weaker, no strength to push. Maybe haven't been running long distance.
Overall completed in 22:20, averaging 4min 25sec/Km
