Did a warm up run. Ran 10 x 800 m fast (200 m jog/walk) in between. My goal was to do these at about 2:50. My times were: 2:41, 2:36. 2:40, 2:41, 2:44, 2:44, 2:47, 2:51 (+1), 2:56 (+6), 3:00 (+10) I kind of fell apart at the end. Still having a hard time judging pace. Did a cool down run to reach 10 miles. Shoe money for today was (1 + 6 + 10) x 10 yen = 170 Yen (about $1.70) PM: 5 mile walk I love my afternoon walks. I have been getting some great photos of spring flowers. The temperature this afternoon was 27C (about 80F) and the humidity was 60%. I was thinking....this is only May, in a couple of months the Olympics will hopefully be held in Tokyo. The temperature is going to be hot and the humidity is going to be high. Running will be like running in a hot steam room. I wonder what athletes are doing to prepare for that, or if there is anything anyone can do to prepare for conditions like that. |
