Run 61, 2008
by Administrator ~ July 11th, 2008. Filed under: Training Notes, Training Runs.
I was really determined to ease up a bit and not run very fast at all today. So I started out aiming for an 8 minute pace and ended up with a 9:30 pace for the first 3 km, just shuffling along. Of course I ended up speeding up and catching up to my 8 minute pace anyway, just to see if I could do it.
I just can’t seem to discipline myself to run at a planned pace. I should have started out at an 8 minute pace instead of a 9:30 pace. At the very least, I should have maintained that 9:30 pace and not run like a maniac at a 6 minute pace just to catch up.
I’ll have to do much better than that if I hope to finish my 32 km on Sunday at an 8 minute pace or better. Anyway my final average pace was 7:57 for the 11 km I ran today.
