Training Day #72

So, I’m kind of on my own this week. I’m still using the coaching from PRT “8 weeks to 10k” program, but setting up my own run time.

Today’s run was very hot, humid, and windy. Rather than kill myself in training runs before Saturday’s 1/4-mari, I decided to incorporate short walking intervals for every 12 minutes of running. That seemed to work out well for me. The walks gave me just enough time to bring my heart rate down a bit so that I could get through another 12 minutes of running.

I’m thankful for the early start for Saturday’s race. The conditions at that time should be cooler than conditions that I’ve done some training in. That should leave me feeling more capable to conquer the race.
