Another cooler race as we head into winter, but again experiencing some high humidity levels during this very rainy period. Great effort from all the participants, with finish times ranging from 19 to 30 minutes.
This week Jack set a target pace of 20 minutes and led a group of runners
to some exciting finishes and excellent times with four achieving the target
and a few just missing out! Note - any runners interested in pacing
to different target times in future events (20, 25, 30 minutes etc.) let us
know if you would like a pacer, or would like to set the pace yourselves.
The race report and full results are below, and you can find our upcoming 5km race schedule at the bottom of the page (see you next on 5 November).
Results
Hugo, Muyngim and Erwan were the category leaders this week.
Impressively, seven runners with previously recorded times set personal
bests (PB), improving their previous times from the tiniest to very wide
margins (0.5s – 6:07).
We were pleased to see regular runners continue to improve, with some long-standing records falling and newer runners continuing to make great strides. Of note, in the female senior category, a new club record of 20:22 was set by Muyngim ENG, shaving 17.4 seconds off the previous standard, set previously by herself earlier this year - well done on some great running!
Race Replay
Analysis and Consistency
We had one excellent sub-1.00 rated
pacing performance this week from Jeremy and six runners with great ratings
of under 1.5! The Pacing Consistency rating is an algorithm designed to give
runners an idea of how well they have balanced their efforts across the
race. Ratings under 1.00 indicate excellent pacing, and the lower the
number, the better, in general, for overall optimum performance.
Volunteers & Supporters
A special thanks as always to our
volunteer officials and helpers on the morning - Seavleang,
Kimkheang, Blandine, Sophorn, Meyjou and Jack!
