PM - ran 0.65 miles with Joseph at 10:49 pace - he earned a smoothie. He did a great job, too. Then ran another 1.5 miles with Samuel at 10:25 pace. I made him set the pace again, but kept up a constant string of letting him know whether he was running too slow or not, and mentioned to him that Joseph earned his smoothie. I told him that if he wanted his too, he would have to speed up, but he was more interested in calculating exactly how much he would have to speed up to get the smoothie than to actually do the work . . . with about 0.1 to go, he picked up the pace considerably, to about 8:30 pace, and when we finished, expected to have done enough to get a smoothie. When I informed him that he had, unfortunately, done too little too late, he was pretty upset. We will see how things go tomorrow and whether he decides to make more of an effort to get his smoothie earlier in the run. |
