Tempo Run, 5:15 target pace

I am keeping my mixed training within a week - Interval training, tempo run, brisk walk. Today is the tempo run day. I set a target pace of 5:15.


First, it does look strange cos my heartrate drops at the end when I was pushing hard. It is because the chest strap has loosen and fall to my belly. Ha ha, it is measuring my "belly" rate.

When I compare to my previous personal best in Dec-2007:

Splits 17-Dec-07 3-Aug-08
400m 2:02 2:03
800m 1:59 2:08
1200m 2:13 2:13
1600m 2:07 2:07
2000m 2:06 2:07
2400m 2:12 2:11
2800m 2:22 2:19
3200m 2:04 1:56
Total 17:09 17:08

I am one second faster in the 3.2km route!!! However, overall pace is 5:21, slower than my target pace. I was doing okay for the 1st 6 splits and really lost my momentum in the 7th split which is slightly up-slope but no where near the slope in split #3. I should have gone faster in that split. The final dash is good. It is quite a equal split between the 1st half and the 2nd half.
