Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
Tomorrow I’m running the Big Beach Half Marathon. My friend, Steve, is running the marathon to celebrate his 60th birthday, and many of us have secretly been training to join him for the weekend.
We surprised Steve yesterday so I can finally publish my training details.
Wednesday I raced the Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Cross Country 5k.
Even though I faded hard on the third mile, my strategy for that mile was just to “hold on.” I hit my strategy on the first two miles, so technically I hit my strategy for the whole race.
My plan for tomorrow’s cross country race.
Yesterday I raced the Refuge Coffee Run. It was a struggle, but I won my age group.
I last minute signed up for the Refuge Coffee Run.
I finished my most recent 5k in 23:14 at 73°F which is a VDOT of 42.9. Tomorrow’s race temp is supposed to be 67°F which would be a VDOT equivalent of 23:01 or 7:24/mi average pace.
I’m going to aim for 7:30 for the first mile, and then pick up the pace each subsequent mile.
