Things are going well here the weather, although cold, has improved this last week and the sun has come out. On Tuesday I did a session of 3 x 2K with the goal to get them all under 7:45 per 2K. I was able to do the 1st 2K in 7:22, the 2nd in 7:30, and the 3rd in 7:40. I don't know if I have the endurance to run a PB for this coming Saturday's half because I missed a couple of long runs of late, but we will see come race day.
It's a new race for me and we are expecting great running conditions so anything could happen. It's interesting training and exciting racing I pretty much love this sport.
As long as that ankle holds up you'll be fine. You may even be better for having missed the long runs at this stage. You know, fresher, more recovered. Ganbatte!
ReplyDeleteNice work on the 2ks, 7:anything sounds so fast to me.
ReplyDeleteYou well and truly achieved your goal for the session. Fingers crossed the same thing will happen Saturday.
Nice work with the 2k's
ReplyDeleteNice running Scott! Good luck on the weekend with the Half.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the half Scott. hope the sun stays out for you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on Saturday Scott.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the race this weekend SCott.
ReplyDeleteSorry - it has been hectic here this week, but I've been reading!
Don't go out too fast and whatever you set as your race plan - STICK TO IT.
Then hurry back and write your race report :)
Yeah, it's good fun, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGive 4 minute k's a bash on Saturday.
Wow, I had to do the maths twice to realise that you did 3x2 k's in under 4 minute pace! I'd be pushing it to do a single km in under 4.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Saturday; can't wait to hear the report!
