Hi TheEd,
I had an easy month, did one race yesterday. I finished in 37:11, it was quite warm and I again went out too fast (first 4k in 3:3*, then 3k in 3:4* and the last 3k in 3:5*). I feel I'm basically on the same level as a couple of weeks ago, because I didn't do the 5*2's. :mrburns:
My next race is on 22nd of june. so two weeks. Planning to do the first and the last week of the program. I'll be happy with a low 37 when it's hot, but I should be able to run a 36 high when it's not too warm. Most importantly: I want to run smart this time, i.e. negative splits.
After that, I'll have one more race on the 7th of July. The race will have only about 150 runners and is not very serious, which means that I might actually have a chance to end up in the top 3. I'd like that... especially because it's in the town where I grew up.
Of course, first I'll have to put in some more quality miles!
Will
