| Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] | |
| Running race 1:32:06 [4] 21.1 km (4:22 / km) vdot: 49.6 | |
| or 1:32:02 chip time
Ok, so being sick was not the best lead up to this race. I did feel constriction (despite being given a puffer by my doctor) on and off throughout the race. By just before the halfway point I was starting to die, legs and arms feeling heavy, and not longer able to keep the same pace. I have never had my arms feel so crappy by the end of a race... 1 mile - 6:22 2 mile - 6:44 3 mile - 7:01 4 mile - 6:52 5 mile - 7:04 Halfway 44:53 (took part of a power gel and water to try to revive) 6 mile - 7:08 7 mile - 7:08 8 mile - 7:08 9 mile - 7:06 10 mile - 7:23 11 mile - 7:09 12 mile - 7:28 last bit ~ 0:45 Markers may not have been exactly perfect. So where does this time fit in with my fitness? - this is the question. I feel crappy about this race, because I always am hoping I will improve (hoping for a miracle?). The fact is that although my training volume has been ok, I have not done much speed-work. Also, how much did my asthma/sickness impact me... this is a question I am working on, testing my peak flow often. I haven't used a puffer regularly since I was 12. However in my teen/adult life I have often used one about once or twice a year when I get sick and it moves into my lungs. I guess what I want to know is whether it is affecting me day to day, or I have just grown used to it. I have noticed it more recently (even before I got sick) because it has been colder, and I cough a lot after running in the cold. | ||

| Was going to go to intervals at the track, but my doctors appointment was over and hour late.... thought about leaving, but I had already waited so long. I now have a puffer to control my cough/wheezing, which is good.
Meghan and I decided to run on the beach near my doctors instead. + 4 strides on the grass at the bottom of the hill before doing intervals. | ||
