Climate change is worrying for sure, but it has its silver linings: the great and unexpected mild weather of the last 2 months has been ideal for running, with temperatures that reached 20° Celsius and a gentle wind blowing mainly from the south. Today I made the most of these favorable conditions, setting a new record on the 10 km distance and improving my personal best by 14 seconds (October 2020, 44'32"). I didn't push that much, focusing on a progressive pace which started with 4'29" m/km and ended with 4'24" m/km (and a final 4'19" m/km sprint): the new best performance is 44'18" (average pace: 4'26" km). Considering that I ran comfortably without any major effort, I assume that this year I will be able to break the 44 minutes wall.
