Nothing special.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention I was going to be away on vacation, and now I'm slammed at work because of it.
ReplyDeleteYour average pace looks quite good. Do you have any races you want to train for? Maybe something 16-20 weeks out.
No worries. There wasn't anything worth commenting on. I hope the vacation was fun.
DeleteThere's a 1/2-athon and 5K here on December 7 that I'm interested in. It's a big affair which will be a bit of a shock for me. Running alone doesn't prepare me for the crowds. I should probably work a few tune ups into the plan so I'm mentally prepared.
The last plan was 10 weeks and I was at the end of my mental rope come race day. I was definitely at a point where I just wanted to race. I've noticed that 10 weeks tends to be how long I can stay focused on a running goal before I start getting itchy for a change.
Should I focus on a build up over the next handful of weeks? Also, if you want I can try to find some races around here so we can plan around them.
That sounds pretty fun. I think you could definitely start building up mileage for it the next couple of weeks. It's probably the VO2max workouts that tend to accelerate that ready to race / mental burnout scenario. I'm thinking you could handle a longer build up as long as we save the VO2 max stuff for the last 4-6 weeks.
ReplyDeleteSounds good. And I promise I will start doing the 200s this week.
