Hot COCO 5K Cheshire (3 wu)	

Total miles: 6.00

Finish time: 24:50

Mid morning race, mid 40's, sunny & dry. 

Splits: 1) 8:15 
        2) 7:45 
        3) 7:58 
        F) 0:52

I reasonably good effort considering my mileage over the past few months.

I last ran this race back in 2010 (5 years ago) in 22:55, so age is a bit of 
a factor (age grade factors of 65% in 2010 versus 62.4% in 2015).

I would have expected to be just under 24:00 so I was off my pace a bit,
but expect to improve as I focus a bit more on speed work.

Base run, continuous. 

Warm-up: 15:00 Fast/Recovery: 10:00/5:00 10:00/5:00 16:54/Finish 

The fast sections were probably done at about an 8:30 (half-marathon)
pace, I ran by time and feel instead of distance.
