Ran a 5k,

22:11

This is a recent PR for me. I have ran faster than this in the past but that was about 5 years ago and I was running all the time. My fastest time for this particular course was around 19:30. I do not see myself running that fast in the near future, but anything is possible.
I realised something during this run, I really had to focus on the POSE technique. I have not focused on POSE recently because I had had the mentality that it was like riding a bike; you just always know how. Anyhow after explaining to a freind how to do the technique they later called me and said how much he had to focus on pulling his feet. I thought about this whilst running and low and behold, I ran faster. Now instead of comparing the POSE to riding a bike i am comparing it to Olympic lifts. You should always be thinking about technique if you want a good performance.
