Thank you... very happy improving by over two minutes, with only having completed two cycles of the program.. so looking forward to more..
I have three events planned to close out my running season. Would like to get your suggestions on whether to continue on with another cycle, and then just increase my longer runs to train for the half marathon coming up, or should I take a break and just run with my running group, and resume the cycle after the half marathon in October 12.
The events are as follows:
October 5 - 5k - charity untimed event - sort of want to run this one hard as I have not run a 5K before and have no PB - but my "A" race will be half marathon the following weekend.
October 12 - Half Marathon - looking to beat my time of 1 hr 51 minutes from my first half marathon in June - however I ran that one 10 lbs heavier than what I weigh now and also ran that one more conservative, so my plan is to really attack this course, and run at a more aggressive pace.
November 16 - 10K - since I wasn't able to run sub 45 in my past race, I added this race, flat course, should be perfect for me, if conditions are good, and I am at same fitness level as I was in this past weekend's race, I know I can run the sub-45.
