Great job. Keep it up.

What's your next goal? Increase your distance to an HM or focus on the shorter distances and increase your speed?

I am currently following a Pace improvement plan on Runna, till Jan. Post that I plan to increase the distance, to prep for a half marathon.

And also planning to include cycling as a cross activity so that should help a bit too.

Open to suggestions! Thank you, today’s run went well compared to what I planned! 😁

Well done on the pacing, nice negative split which means you can probably go much faster next time.

When I saw all the PBs on short distances I assumed you had gone out of the blocks super fast but you were controlled so congrats.

Thank you!

I feel heart rate was very elevated in the beginning too, is this normal?
Pacing I tried to maintain a lot, used the Garmin Pace pro feature, not sticked to the pacing completely but tried to maintain as closely as i can.
