Ah.. disappointing
Saturday, 08 May 2010 - Written by mohanty401 [profile]
I did a 10k this morning at the local monthly run. Now while I had been taking it easy the last few weeks but this last week was back at long distance and more impotantly had picked up pace as well.. all in the gym though.. what with 30deg celsius temperature I just couldnt get myself to run outside..so this last week did a 13k run and a strong one and two 5ks. So with the pace I ran this last week (5:50 min/km), I was seriously aiming for a sub 1 time today.. started well and uptil the 7km mark was around a 5:55 min/km pace and was happy and then I just lost it... I started walking and from there on just cldnt pick up the pace again... had a fantastic group so many along the way kept me going but after the 8km mark I was jogging just to finish it... and finished with 1hr 3mins.. my earlier pr as well... so disappointed.. but lesson learnt .. have to run outside to get used to the runs... and so atleast 1 run of my 4/week will be out in the sun for sure....

Is your schedule flexible enough where u can run before the sun is in full effect ? That would b the best time to get your run in if you wanna avoid the sun as much as possible.

^^ except if you're trying to TRAIN the way you'll RACE. if you avoid the conditions of race day, you'll just experience the same disappointments. get out there and adapt! :)
