New PB 3000 m indoor 9:41,1

Today I took part in first winter track race in Barnaul (open competitions of Altai State Technical University). I was running 3000 m. Time was 9:41,1 with this time schedule:
1) 3:09.3
2) 6:25.9 (1000 m -3:16.6)
3) 9:41.1 (last 1000 m - 3:15,2)
RPE=5, HR av = 182.

New personal best is almost 5 seconds faster then the old one (23/03/2013 - 9:45,9).

Indoor track has steep curves and track surface is old and really hard :

 

But today race was much easy for me then PB in 2000 m (indoor) in Novosibirsk (16 November 2013). Time was 6:19.39 with schedule:
1000 m 3,01.4
1500 m ~4,37
2000 m 6:19.39. RPE=8, HR av=184.

 Regional competitions in Novosibirsk (16 November 2013), indoor track is really good (photo: E.Juchkova).

P.S. In my training diary RPE scale is 0-10.

P.P.S. On the title photo you can see Sergey Shubenkov is walking on the inner side of track. He is IAAF World championships 2013 bronze medalist in 110 hurdles
