Daniels Park - noon
mid 50s, overcast, dry
mind/body - very good
medium effort
It's no secret that I tend to start too fast and fade towards the end of any race so today I thought I'd mix it up a bit. I decided that I would do a little speed work for the last 3 myles of my run on somewhat tired legs. I would have been happy to hit 6:15s/18:45 for 3 myles but I did a little better than expected. I hit 5:53, 5:56, 6:05/17:54 for the last 3 myles - not too shabby eh? I think this approach will help the fading thing for shorter races (marathon and 50K) but probably won't do much for those 100 mile beasts....

hello Italian Stallion. Jent Jent here. The "short races" (marathon and 50k) are hardly even worth my time...that is why I don't run or train for them. I prefer to spend my time eating meal-size portions of technically fat-free red vines with a side of root beer float. Myles is so so cute. Henry can't wait to play with him.
