There is no doubt about it: pizza & pasta are the best carbs and energy providers, at least here in the Medi-area. After a family dinner eating pizza and drinking beer (just a couple of glasses), and a spaghetti + omelette lunch, I hit the road at the end of the afternoon and improved my PB on the 5K distance by 11 seconds. The second good news is that the margin of improvement is wide: firstly, I didn't run on a ring, but on a bycicle path that now and then forced me to cross the road and lose some seconds; secondly, the weather was dramatically hot (30° at 20:00), due to the heatwave which has been affecting the whole Mediterraneum Sea since May. In more ideal track and weather conditions, there are chances to break the 20 minutes threshold. Here are the details of the performance:
Time: 20'43"
Laps and progression:
1 km 4:08; 2 km 4:00 (8:08); 3 km 4:12 (12:20); 4 km 4:16 (16:36); 5 km 4:07 (20:43)
