To run or not to run
December 3rd, 2007
There’s another 5K Reindeer Run this Sunday. My personal goal would be to finish the entire track running, and to learn to pace myself. Should I do it?
I should probably talk a little more here about my running adventures. So, this morning has me back on the treadmill, which I’m gradually moving up to the recommended 1.5 degree incline to simulate outdoor running (windresistance, etc etc). Because of work I actually took yesterday off from my exercise schedule, which my body thanked me for this morning by being extra happy. The training program’s got me at a 5m warm up, then a 5/3/5/3/5 run/walk interval. And man, I was smoking it, to the point of forgetting to keep track of the time and realizing I accidentally overran one interval. This is likely to change, mind you, because wednesday it’s got me doing 8/3/8 followed by 20 on Friday. But the way I figure, if I can pull off 20 straight at 8mm, I should be able to match my 8.5 from last weekend on Sunday with a sustained run. \mm/
