Hi again. I ran my race., but unfortunately missed my time goal a little. I was aiming for sub 32 min, but ran a 32:30 instead. I'm happy with the race though, running very even splits of 16:15. This was a PB, so can't complain about that either. The race was very competitive; never a better place to do well.
Now I'm looking to do some resting for the next week (also because I'm leaving town, traveling some). I'd like to following your off training period program during that time. After that, I'm going to try adding more weights during the summer and improve my speed, which may be lagging behind my endurance at this point. (Would doing weights during an off-period be advisable?)
Thank you for all the advice over this period, which began in March (seems like a long time ago now). I'm still really interested in racing this summer, but they will likely be 5000m and 3000m races. I'll see if any 10k on track are available, but short stuff is in my hopes for July, August. Cheers, and thanks again. I'll send an update when I know more.
