Saturday April 24, 2010 (Race-4km)
I have not raced a 4km distance since running the Twilight series in Adelaide in 1994. So without any speed training it was an interesting exercise in running against runners of all ages in the first event on the NSW Athletics winter racing calender held in Scarborough Park, Ramsgate. After 1.5 km into the race it all came back to me - I remembered that 4km can seem a long way when you are running at 95% of your maximum heart rate and at a pace not previously attempted in training. Just held it together to finish in the 70th percentile in a time of 18min39.
