I raced the Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Cross Country 5k on Wednesday. It was the first 5k in years that I raced by feel rather than a target pace, but I think that fit the course well.

This week started the fourth and final phase of my training cycle. The previous phase went as planned, and I raced the Winship 5k. This phase has the Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Cross Country 5k.
I raced the Winship 5k last Saturday. It was tough, and I was slower than I wanted to be.
With tomorrow’s race-time forecast of 63°F, I’m adjusting my target time for the Winship 5k from 23:31 to 23:40.
Given the route’s terrain, I plan to push the pace on the first mile downhill, push through the uphill second mile, and then hang on for the flattish last mile (and change).
