General Notes

• The half 21km (13.1m) test will consist of a warmup followed by a straight 21km effort (no stops)
• During the test, we care only about pace per mile. Don’t worry about HR. 
•  Ideally in a 2 loop route but is your choice.
• For this test, we are following an educated effort. So once you start the 21k 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 20 secs to 30 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 3 miles if you feel strong you can push faster. 
• There should not be water breaks unless you are carrying the water with you.
