!0 km Fartlek

My first two walks this week were pretty slow so I was very surprised to manage the first km today in 5:37. I had a tail wind and the rain had pretty much stopped for the first 4 km.  I was walking well but felt the effects of the wind once I turned back. The rain became quite heavy and I began to get cold. I could feel my muscles tightening up and decided not to sprint in the last few km for fear of becoming injured.
5:37
3:21 + 2:53 = 6:14
3:14 + 2:59 = 6:13
3:11 + 2:54 = 6:05
3:11 + 3:14 = 6:25
3:19 + 3:06 = 6:25
3:25 + 3:13 = 6:38
6:52, 7:25, 7:38

Total time 1:05:35. Average pace 6:33, average HR 152 bpm

Tuesday 15 May - 12 km Training Walk

This walk was difficult but at least I averaged a better speed than on Sunday.  I still seem to be fatiguing after about 8 km. Surely I will become conditioned soon. Total time 1:30:55, average pace 6:35, average heart rate 122bpm.
