My first race using 5min run, 1 minute walk intervals which turned out to be a great idea! Instead of slowing me down it gave me permission to run harder on the intervals knowing that a rest was coming. Unfortunately my HRM is broken and the watch I was using crapped out. No worries though, my rests gave me enough gas to finish strong! I'm not sure but this may be my fastest 5k ever! Also, absolutely no leg muscle issues at all-- no ITB, no hamstring, just strong and smooth. All in all a fantastic race.

Run faster on the intervals! Get my HRM fixed so I watch the clock less.

Support post race was thin & no times were recorded, but the course was clean, with good traffic support.
