Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
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.
Saturday Run Family representing at the Winship 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).
I’ve been making adjustments to my nutrition over the past few weeks. I’m hopeful that this approach will help me trim up a bit while continuing to support my running and strength training.
