I met with the group at Bingham this morning. I ran a 3 mile warm up in 26 minutes. Way to fast. Then we ran 6 miles with 1/2 mile repeats at 10k pace with about a 1/2 mile recovery in between. Then I ran a 1.4 mile cool down with Cheris and Michelle. Average pace for the 10.4 miles was 8:32. My legs felt a little tired during the run.

Nice running... Pushing the pace while tired is determination. Sometimes it's the tired days where we push that shows good results on race day.

Thanks Wheakory. That sounds good to me. I'm running a 10k this Friday and I would love to see some good results. I'm going to force myself to slow it down the next two days.

Ya your really don't need to push it. I would do about 8 x 100m strides tomorrow at the end of your easy run just to get a good turn over tune-up for the race. Than of course do a good warm-up before the race to get the blood flowing in the muscles. Then rip it up!

I appreciate any advice you can give me. The strides are a great idea. I am planning on running 10 miles tomorrow. How many miles do you think I should run on Thursday, the day before the race?

Sounds like a tough workout: great job! Good luck in your 10k on Friday!

I would probably do 3 to 5 miles at an easy pace, or even take the day off. Because you really want fresh legs for the race. But I would make sure you do a good warmup, and go at race pace for about 200m just to get the muscles warmed up about 10 -15 minutes before the race starts. It's good to warmup right before the race starts like doing a mile 1 or 2 then 200m at race pace or a 1 minute at race pace.

Thats what I usually do, because you do want to start out at race pace without having even warmed up.

Shauna- Thanks for the comment. Are you planning on racing Friday? It looks like we both have the same goal for St. George this year. I can't wait to see how you do.

Wheakory- Thank you so much for the great advice. I will definitely try it.
