Monthly parkrun 5k test

Hyrox Melbourne Build - Week 4, Day 6
I ran the same parkrun slower than last month.
Is this a setback? Well, it is one of the indicators, and I partially put my pride on it.
It didn't happen, but a few things to celebrate
- I felt the same runs are easier on treadmill workouts.
- My ranking has progressed from 9th to 8th (don't take it seriously tho I know many people doing their Parkrun at their tempo pace).
- I felt easier in the first few KMs.
I don't really know what I could have done differently for the last 4 weeks. But here are what would change AFTER the Hyrox Melbourne
- More running outside on the actual track.
- More Hills and threshold.
Let's see and learn
Sneak in some intensity with cross training

7 Weeks Hyrox Build: Week 3 Wednesday
I feel my pulling mechanism for row erg is clicking - not too much leaning back, but drive with the legs.
In Ski Erg, I am finding the hard pace sustainable for 1 minute.
Overall, I can feel the consistency starting to pay off.
I kept at my Z3-Z4, I wonder if it impacts my recovery, or if it is a good way to sneak in some high intensity work without taxing the legs. Will need some research/experiments
