Training Status

Been keeping up my running. Going about 3 times per week, with a longer type run on Sunday’s.

 

Only 23 days left to the Ollie 5 mile Road Race. My top end speed is pretty good I think, based on the track workouts I’ve done. However, when running tempo, its difficult to hold onto an 8 min mile pace. I’ll keep trying to drill some lengthy speed into my legs to prepare them for the race.

 

I know the race will give me some extra speed, what with nerves and excitement but my goal of a 7 min mile pace is looking lofty right now. But, I’ll continue to try and up the pace of my workouts to develop the aerobic endurance I’m going to need.
