Back outside for a 5km run today! The weather was a bit better, though still on the chilly side. The run felt fantastic- I came in over a minute faster than my previous effort, and without pushing too hard.

I focused on staying steady and keeping my heart rate consistent, which does wonders for endurance.

Running at a steady heart rate helps train your body to use energy more efficiently and sustain effort over longer distances—key for marathon prep.

It was definitely a confidence booster and a great way to kick off a high-mileage week!

5km (3.1miles) in 29:59.
