Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I need do better on my diet, I think it is making me feel sluggish during my workouts. That is a no brainer though. Today I went to the gym and did a warm-up followed by 10x400 all at 6:00 pace with a 200 jog in between. These were not too hard, just felt sluggish. I felt like I should have done a few more, but decided not to after reading a few articles about going to about 85% exhaustion and 100% for racing. I think Ed Eyestone said that in an article and then there was an article in RW this month about that too- running at the pace you want to race and not much faster. I usually do intervals till I want to barf so today was refreshing. If I were more fit, I could have probably done more till I hit that 85-90%, but the good thing is that it true for where ever you are at. Right or wrong, I don't know. We'll see next week for the season opener 5k. Aside from theory, I wasn't in the mood either, so this was even more enticing to go with. I know one thing, I sure loved walking out of the gym refreshed for once.

i totally agree with running the paces you want to race -- even when i do very short intervals, i basically max out at 5k pace. that's just me though...

i also agree that you shouldn't go 100% in workouts -- save it for the race!!!

anyway, nice job with the workout and good luck with the season opener 5k coming up. your winter base has been solid and i think you will do really well. i think you can take the whole series!
