For future reference:

  • I started really relaxed and controlling my pace
  • Mentally, I opted for a kind of a zen state of mind
  • I have no pains whatsoever
  • Only drank water at 7,5 km
  • Did not need to do effort management
  • The last kilometre (12th) was done faster
  • I ended the workout less tired than I expected

With this mark, I will make a good race in the Golden Marathon 15k, for sure, something around 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I will start doing more workouts like these, but taking special care not to enter in a fatigue state… prior to Easter hollidays a few 7k runs and that’s it.
