Race Pace Training Run

ByTim Nolte

Only a little wet this morning but it actually felt good by keeping things cooler. Tried to keep at a race pace but as usual my pace was a bit of a roller coaster. Even with music I can’t keep it very consistent from one minute to the next. I need to work on that, but perhaps my consistent race pace is slower than I’d like it to be and that’s why I have such a hard time. I know that I was pushing the limits given how high my heart rate would get.

I think maybe it’s time to put aside the training plan that is trying to get me faster and just get out and enjoy the run. Not saying I didn’t enjoy it, but these sorts of training runs get me off the focus of why I’m running to begin with.

    Getting The Saturday Long Run Done

    ByTim Nolte
    We all have those off days, for me today was one of those. The second half of my run was more challenging than last week. Given I PR’d for a half marathon I was surprised by today. I really can’t complain, I was supposed to be running a 9:40 min/mi pace. So in reality I…
