Target time: Complete run in under 30:00
How to pace: Maintain a steady, relaxed pace throughout the run. Aim for a heart rate in zone 2.
How to be competitive: To be competitive, focus on finding the balance between maintaining pace and your breathing. Push gently during the last 5 minutes if feeling strong.
What you should feel: During the run, you should feel a moderate effort, able to hold a conversation. After the workout, expect a sense of light fatigue but not exhausted; it should feel refreshing.
