Mile reps tonight at the track, on the second try; track practice was in progress when I went over there at 4. Back a little after 5, track clear. Goal was 5 @ 10KP. Not too far off; reps were 7:46, 7:17, 7:19, 7:21, 7:28. I'd say my goal 10KP right now would be around 7:20, so pretty close except for that first rep, when I was still warming up (and with mid-40s and quite a stiff wind, warming up is an accurate term).
Worked on Maclin's pace sheet today trying to figure out a plan. I still think even effort is the way to go for me; take advantage of the downhills without going crazy, relax a tad on the uphills. So I cut out and laminated a pace band for that strategy. Also bought name tags for the FE dinner and a white marker to mark my name on my shirt for Boston. Nope, not obsessed a bit... |
