So its all set for weekend races, yes races I have 2 back to back. Not something I planned just happened to be so. I have a 10K planned for Saturday night and a 5K planned for Sunday. Today's run was 7K but the humidity just killed and my foot pod slipped and it was hurting as hell. Should have stopped and fixed that,now it still hurting hopefully rest fixes it by Saturday night. I tried the GU chomp it tasted good the run was too short too tell if it helps or no. I did not hurt I burped a few times but it was ok. I still need to try the Gel sometime before the #STWM. The heart rate was much elevated mostly due to humid weather and its good the weather on weekend is cooler. Todays run route also covered the Sunday;s yorkville run and so it was good practice run. I was hoping that as training reaches its end the hills would get easier. No way it's a horrible task and it was 7 repeats today which made life miserable. The run was good though going I was all under 6:30 and coming back was getting better every km. It was good run and I was happy to know next Wednesday it will be last Hill training. Than we switch to speed works which I am assuming is going to suck equally as well. This time I realized why people hate canoe over the Riverdale. It's a bit longer and seems like never ending one. Not much to write this week. One more thing that I notice the heart rate was a lot better today. Yesterday humidity made the run horrible today we had nice breeze which kept me cool and so the heart rate was lower than yesterday. The race day is now 6 weeks away. Today it was supposed to be a 5K tempo run. It was not bad run day it was really humid out today. I sweat a bucket of water. The Garmin 610 GPS again went bonkers invented a artificial route almost. I used the heart rate monitor today and the readings seemed realistic unlike my last experience. Not much to scribe today. Oh I returned my ON Cloud surfer and ordered the Cloud Runner, more when I actually get it. Today's run was planned to cover both start point of the #STWM race and finish. It was 16K and as usual Sunday morning blues slowed the race. I am not sure why I end up being slower on morning run's than evening ones. My current speculation is food. I eat a banana before my evening runs and it gives enough fuel to run. On morning run I am hungry and may be I need to fix that for my next run. Overall todays run was lot slower I spent 2hrs for 16K run. This is not really great pace but I am confident I can finish the distance now. It is not a good feeling yet but hopefully the next 4 or 5 weeks I can pace my self a bit faster. The route was good we went up University to Bloor and west on Bloor to Bathrust. South on Bathrust to MGT to Ontario street. We got back to Bay and did a loop around Richmond/queen and Univ. I use the concentrated gatrade with water but I ran out of both the bottles of my hydration and probably need to fix that somehow for training. Here is how the route was. |
