PPAC-106 5km Road Race

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!]
