CM-10K_11-24-20

General Notes

• The 10km (6.2m) test will consist of a warmup followed by a straight 10km effort (no stops)
• During the test, we care only about pace per mile. Don’t worry about HR. 
•  Ideally in a track. It will be 25 laps. Even if your watch completes the 10km before the 25 laps please complete them
• For this test, we are following an educated effort. So once you start the 10k please keep an eye on your watch using the CURRENT LAP screen. 
• It is important that you check the pace of that current lap every 30 secs to 45 secs. So you have time to correct the pace.
• For instance, if you are supposed to keep that particular mile around 7:10 and your current lap is marking 6:50 you need to slow down. We go as close as we can for the prescribed pace. Except for the last 1.2 miles if you feel strong you can push faster. 
• There should not be water breaks unless you are carrying the water with you.
