Burt, am I looking at some consistency here?

(Good job) !!

From sam on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 13:48:02 from 90.208.239.179

Hey Burt, great session, what was the recovery inbetween or is this one run with splits?

From Burt on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 14:25:51 from 68.76.197.194

Just one run. I have a 10k in a week and a half. Any advice on how to train this next week?

From Kelli on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 14:45:15 from 71.219.102.162

Great splits, Burt. That is going to be a fast 10k.

From kellies on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 14:46:38 from 160.7.238.59

Wow, very nice splits!! Nice job!

From Metcalf Running on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 15:10:42 from 207.225.192.66

WOW nice pace... you are going to be smokin' at the 10K.

From sam on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 17:57:25 from 90.208.239.179

Excellent Burt well done, your 10k should be a pb,

training, I tend to taper a little from the 5 days before, ease on the mileage.....

Hey speedy- lookin' good :)

And don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your secret life as a woman on facebook.

From Kelli on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 00:55:10 from 71.219.102.162

We already know!

From kungfublonde on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 01:01:13 from 64.203.113.50

Shhhh Kelli, I'm trying to harass Burt!

From Kelli on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 01:02:39 from 71.219.102.162

Well, I think we should tell the world about it! Burt needs some harassing!

From kungfublonde on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 01:15:35 from 64.203.113.50

Burt, is it ok if I call you Vicki? I feel like we're good enough friends at this point...

From Burt on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 01:36:36 from 98.167.151.26

Geez! Say it so the whole world can hear!

From sam on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 04:37:39 from 78.32.130.9

Yeah VICKI< hahahaha I believe it is Victor! I hope this doesnt mean your personality is Victor Meldrew LOL sure you americans won't get that one.....

Burt, if you were able to do Pat's Run at an average of 7:17/mile (just checked your race report again), you should probably be shooting for around 7:30/mile for your 10K, assuming it is not real hilly. This would actually put you at around 46:30. For training, make sure you are getting in your miles, and make sure that the last 2-3 days prior are easy miles. I don't think much tapering is required for a 10K, other than making sure that you don't hammer your legs with a hard workout the week prior.

From Burt on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 16:52:41 from 68.76.197.194

James - They don't have a course map, but from the description I'm able to trace out what I think it will be on GoogleEarth. The race is out and back. It appears as though the first half of the race has a 300 foot climb. The steepest section is a 4.7% slope for 0.6 miles. I figure I should get some hill training in this Saturday, but the race is the following Saturday. Is that too close to "hammer" my legs?

From James W on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 19:01:00 from 12.151.72.1

That's plenty of time. Just don't overdo it this weekend and you should be fine. It's more important Wed-Fri to make your runs nice and easy.

From sam on Fri, May 01, 2009 at 12:30:53 from 90.208.239.134

When I am doing a 10k race, I might get away with a decent session on the sat/sun, then it would be maybe a half session like instead of 6x 1mile I would do 3x 1 mile but faster with more recovery and then easy runs over the wed/thurs/frid, and rest the day before a race, or if your racing sat, rest on thurs and real easy 1-2 miles jog on friday! just my thoughts and my coach would tell me to do this..

Nice Burt, nice. How tall are you?

From Burt on Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 02:01:26 from 98.177.220.145

6' 3/4". Why do you ask?
