October's 5km race welcomed
five new runners with everyone completing the course comfortably within 32
minutes. Conditions were cool and calm but a 94% humidity level still
provides some extra challenge to the runners.
Well done to all
the athletes, and this week's top category finishers Michele, Erwan and
Andarge, who registered a 6th 5km first place of the year (and 17th
overall).
First timer Paul matched Andarge's final lap pace but was unable to hold on
in a thrilling sprint finish. There was also a close race for 3rd place with
Markus just able to hold off Dan's final lap surge.
Three runners with previously recorded 5km times recorded PBs, including a huge 9 minute PB for Phaneth and impressive improvements from Michele and Erwan.

Analysis & Pacing Consistency
There were two standout pacing performances with sub-1.00 pacing
consistency ratings for Paul and Mark. Check the table to see your pacing
across the three sections of the race - the park lap (approximately 0.73 km)
and the two laps of the Sokha loop. There is often a tendency to set out too
fast on the park lap which can affect performance over the remainder of your
run.
Fitness Factor
Fitness Factor (FF) is back this month. There is a wide range of FF scores
this month with four scores of 55+, indicative of well trained
runners, including a top-5 all time fitness factor score of 63.26 for Paul!
For context, only ten runners have previously scored over 60. [If you would
like a FF result but are missing from the results list please ensure we get a height
measurement at the next event!]
