Did a little bit of speed play during my Tuesday 10k session and took an extra day of rest yesterday (well, i played squash, but no running) and also rest today. That seems to make sense, because I've been upping my mileage a bit the past three weeks and I want to have fresh legs at the start.
Weather forecasts shows it won't be too hot on friday evening when the race is, so hoping for a PB (sub 36:41), but satisfied with everything below 37:30, as I don't know the course. I think I will try to run exactly at a 3:40 pace or even slightly slower for the first 3k and see how I feel then. Not going out to fast (like last three races:mmm
will be an important objective.
Is this a sensible pacing strategy?
