Leave it to me to not leave well enough alone. I probably should have kept tonight's GA run kinda slow just to recover from yesterday's recovery run. Uh, no. I started off at a good pace and got faster and faster and faster, until the last mile was just about at GMP. Total 10 miles in 86 minutes.
Been thinking about my strategy for Hogeye. I want to see how fast I can go, but the terrain may preclude the kind of race I ran in Conway, where I just tried to lay down 13 consecutive miles at the same pace. I'm thinking run about 7:20-7:30 pace for the first three hilly miles, put the hammer down in the "flats" at about 7:00 pace for the next seven miles, then see what I have left when I get back to the hills. What I'd REALLY like to do is go sub-1:30, but that would require a 6:51 average. Not sure I could do that on a flat course, much less this one. |
