Have you ever ran it Derek? I've watched parts of the womens 10K before and don't remember it being particulary hilly. |
I'm looking for realistic advice from Deek or any other joggers/runners out there. (what's the difference between a jogger and a runner?)
I suspect I might have set too easy a target for my first 10K race as I ran 10K today in 51:28 this morning. With 4 weeks to go how much should I lower that by?
I like targets to mentally aim for since it keeps me motivated but I don't want to make it so unrealistic that it has the opposite effect.
With family and work responsibilities I'm restricted to 3 runs a week, 2 about 5-6K and one longer one. Should I aim for 51 mins or would 50 be attainable?
I was pleasantly surprised at my time today. I was expecting about 54 minutes. It was perfect conditions this morning though so don't want to delude myself.
