Ran a total of five easy miles today to prepare for the 10k tommorrow. I ran slow pace 6:45/7:00 mile and completed five 100 meter strides. It was hard to stop running because it felt like I just got the engine started up, and then it was time to turn it off. My body wanted to do some faster stuff, but I mentally prohibited myself from increasing the pace. I think that the taper I used worked well because I feel sharp and rested. Not too many miles this week because I wanted to feel good for this 10k. |
