Last night while running with the Striders boys I had a moment of clarity. The plan that I am using for my training is working perfectly. Running a modified marathon plan for a 25k has pushed me to build my endurance while also running some smoking fast tempo runs. I am very pleased with where I am at with 5 more weeks of training to go. Being able to close a 10k last night with a 7:09 mile without feeling like I was pushing has given me the confidence that I need to stay the course and not lose sight on my goals. I am now at the phase in my training where I get more 25k specific shortening my long runs a bit, and focusing on my 25k pace instead of my MP.
I am going to be going a little shorter on the weekends but at a much faster pace. I am leaving for the Catskill mountains in the morning to add a bit of hills to the mix and to get a change of scenery. When I return, I will be in full beast mode. I am hoping some hill training will help me through mile 7-10 of RB. GROWL!
