Who said that growing old is a drag? Not me! Today, 4 years after setting my PB in the 5K distance (23 August 2016, 21'21" in Alghero "Maria Pia" track), I covered the same distance in 21 minutes and 9 seconds, improving my last record by 12 seconds. This time I didn't train using the interval training approach, but I focused on improving my speed and stamina on the 1km and 3km distance (see table). It was a lenghty process, but more diverse and entertaining. The weather conditions helped me reach my goals: after three days of intense heat, today a fresh breeze from NW and a temperature of 26° pushed me towards my new PB (I admit that when I went out today I didn't feel like running fast...).
