Sunday tempo run

miles run: 8 miles at tempo pace ( 70% of race pace)... nice and sunny.... asphalt/dirt


something to think about: ""Listen to your body. Do not be a blind and deaf tenant."

calling all runners and running fans,

Normally Sundays are rest days... but not this week. Due to the rain earlier in the week, I wasn't able to run Monday, Tues, or wed so now I have to run every day until Christmas day to make up for it... again I usually run five days a week as part of my marathon training, but I am flexible when certain situations arise (like the rain this week). Today was a tempo run for me which means about 70 percent race pace...I like to do these twice a month off season and once a week during marathon training season. I also usually increase them as my target race gets closer. My last race was the Mission Inn, Riverside 5k in November and noticed that my kick significantly improved from previous races after implementing one minute tempo intervals more regularly before the race... I do remember these from high school and college but never actually saw a big difference... so remember do your homework ( run your tempos) you will be thankful you did at the last straight away before the finish line... got miles?
