Newburyport Yankee 10 mile race. The race day is typically a hot and humid day. By hot I mean 88-90 degrees and by humid i mean 85%. So, even for Texas standards this is a hot setting for a longer race.
This will truly be my first "race" aside from high school track. Up to this point I haven't considered the events in which I have run as races. They have all been elements of training and even the marathons haven't been what I would consider a race. But, I am going to go out and race this event. As a result I thought I should have a well planned strategy or race plan. The ultimate goal is to run under 65 minutes regardless of weather conditions or unknown course challenges. As a result I am going to go out and run the first 5k in 645-655 pace. At the the end of the 5k I hope to get settled in to 630 pace for the next 5k. At the beginning of the 3rd 5 k I'll take an inventory of myself and if all is well I'll drop into 620 pace, and run the last 2 miles in 12 minutes.
So where does this put me? Around 62 minutes.
This race strategy is brought to you in part thanks to the following sources.

you better finish with a 6:32pace or faster if you have any chance at running faster than my 3:03:06 pr in your race. Just saying.

I second the font deal. You can do better than blue over black. You're not in a gang anymore.
ReplyDeleteI guess getting old makes reading difficult. Maybe I'll change my formatting for you senior citizens.
ReplyDeleteIt is actually black over blue and I was never in a gang.
So there. Any color combo recommendations from the web design guru's out there?
