I went into this morning’s 10k (on coffee only, otherwise fasted) shooting for a consistent 176 watts average. I slowly worked up to it, and then settled in for most of the 41 minutes. I found myself at the halfway point able to focus on the power and stay consistent, and sprinted the last 500m. Best time by a smidge.

So I looked at my data in the e2 app and the difference between then and now was pacing. Whereas on 9/15 I pushed myself early and then faded, today I built slowly up to the last split, and finished strong. Something to remember.
