So, last preparation for Race Day later this week (saturday).
I feel in good shape, and will go for it!
However, I have some uncertainties regarding
- shoes
- organisation of two last sessions
Shoes first: I recently bought a nice pair of "racing shoes": Mizuno Wave Ronin 5
I have tried them out in three different sessions. First, I used them for 3x1 k (changed shoes during 6x1k session) on treadmill. Then I used them for 5k run on track, and yesterday I used them for the 10 x 400 m, on an indoor track. I have hitherto zero distance on the actual race surface (concrete) with these shoes. How important / potentially problematic is this? (to run with the shoes on the actual race surface). Of course, I have ran some of the sessions on concrete, but then used my Asics Gel Nimbus 14.
My weight is around 80kg, +/- 1kg, so I`m a bit heavy for my height (180) (not the typical long distance body type). Just thought it could be mentioned.
So I wonder whether I should use them on todays and / or tomorrows session(s), and whether these sessions should be on concrete.
For the last session, fartlek, I also wonder if I understand it right. After 30 min easy you run 6 x 1 min race pace, with 1 min "easy" in between each interval?
Thanks again for all guidance:tourist:
