Running 37:00 [3] 7.5 km (4:56 / km) +50m 4:46 / km
The legs are beat up from yesterday's Central Park race. I didn't really feel I ran fast yesterday. I don't have the speed yet. I probably could shave off 10 to 15 minutes on the course when I am going all out. Maybe I try a rerun when I am in the city later this year.
In spring there comes the question, how do I get in good shape after doing a lot of long runs. Tempo runs? Shorter runs? Intervals? Go into the woods with the map as much as possible?
I prefer the race approach: Go to meet and focus completely on navigating, even when the map is known. Run at the limit. After a few races and going to the limit (or beyond), a good physical and mental form develops.
I can't get there with map training or intervals alone. Competing is the best training.
