Upcoming 10K! (And a Week of Training)
>> Monday, October 22, 2018
Well, my family is doing a 10K with me this upcoming weekend! We all decided we were feeling good enough after the TC 10 Mile 2 weeks ago that we'd give this a whirl. We are going to do the 10K that's part of the Minneapolis Halloween Half:
Hopefully I won't look as trashy next weekend. Har har.
As I look at those past results, I'd love to see if I can go sub-37:00. Can I set a PR? Can I at least outrun my stroller run with Henry and go sub-37:16? Those predictions are all pretty tight, and I don't know if the big hill from mile 4-5 will let me be that fast. Also, can I really run 15 sec/mile faster than the TC 10 Mile 2 weeks ago? WE'LL SEE ON SATURDAY!!!
Here was my training last week:
TUESDAY was an easy/moderate run after my legs were still a BIT heavy from the race 9 days before.
THURSDAY was the big run workout: 2x2 mile intervals. I was happy with my first one, and then suffered a LOT during the last one. I had my worst side-stitch in a LONG time. I was thrilled I kept all of my half-mile splits under 3:00!
2:59, 2:59, 2:56, 2:57 = 11:53.01
2:56, 2:59, 2:56, 2:51 = 11:44.06
So not amazing times, but decent, and consistent. I'll have more about why I like that workout in a "Thirsty (for knowledge) Thursday" post on Thursday.
And then SATURDAY was a long run. Nothing fancy here. My legs felt OK after Thursday's run (WHEW!), but I just got in 9 miles at a moderate pace with nothing too hard.
