Run for The Penguins 5K, Mystic, CT with Christian

9:13am for 3.11 miles done at 10:13/mile in 31:45

My son Christian and I ran our first race together.  It was his first race.  The race was through a field, then a trail, over a bridge into the woods, back onto the street and back through the woods, bridge, trail and field.  Going over the bridge the first time, as we were in the middle of the pack to start, was slow.  It became a walk for about two minutes as we needed to cross the bridge 1-2 at a time.  This was fine.  It is not meant to be a PR race.  It is meant to be a run with Christian.  As far as I know, he never ran the 5K distance.  He did an amazing job.

4:17pm for 4.01 miles at 9:52/mile in 39:35 at 134 bpm (77% MHR).  It was a recovery run with 10x100s with 1:00 rest following. 

Active: 3.13 miles in 29:35

Rest 0.88 miles in 10:00

The warm-up was 2.01 miles @ 10:09/mile for 124 bpm in 20:27.

I did the first 0.60 miles of this warm-up with my son Brandon.

The Cool down was 0.49 miles at 10:39/mile at 139 bpm in 5:14. 

All 10x100s done at better than my goal of 6:39/mile!!!  How much better by seconds?  By 50, 10, 25, 1, 32, 21, 17, 37, 26, and 10 seconds respectively.  The splits are below.

Of note: the tenth rest period following the 100 meters has Max HR as 179!  I have been considering my Max HR to be 174.  Now I wonder what it really may be!  I may run a test sometime to determine that.
