- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 5 km @ 4:31 [4:33, 4:30, 4:30, 4:31, 4:30]
-- cool down
hell yeah. this is 1:35 half marathon pace. i couldn't do that for 21.1 km, at least on a route with climbs like this one has. but if i stay healthy and consistent, i'll definitely be able to by march.
EDIT: i just looked at the results from last year's rock and roll half marathon. noticed that a friend finished in 1:24, just outside the top 100 overall, 19th in our age group (out of about 7,500). that's pretty impressive. 1:35 would put me around 350th overall, or around 65th in the age group. 1:30 would put me closer to 40th in the age group and top-200 overall.
even 1:35 is 95th percentile, that's cool.

left achilles a little stiff now a couple of hours later. going to take tomorrow off.
46 km over the last seven days is a big jump, need to be careful.

short sleeve plus long sleeve is better than a sweatshirt temperature-wise when it's mid-40s, but irritated my nipples
longer than i meant to run but i got lost in rich people land, so many fucking cul-de-sacs and no signage.

« on: December 04, 2022, 11:28:30 am »I use a buff for winter runs, preferably the 'light' ones ( not half fleece ), wrapped around neck, whenever ears freeze i pull it up to cover mouth, nose, ears. Then i get too hot, i lower it again.
Congrats!
it's really only my ears that get uncomfortably cold on a run, unless it's well below freezing, so i feel like i'd cycle through the too hot phase too much to make a buff work.

adjusting to cold. long sleeve shirt plus sweatshirt is too warm at 42/6 degrees but gloves were great. would have been nice to have ear muffs, too.

-- warm up x 2 km
-- run x 5 km @ 4:37 [4:39, 4:51, 4:35, 4:33, 4:27]
-- cool down x 1.86 km
EDIT: signed up to do a 5k race on 17 december, with my mom. she did her first 5k last weekend (run/walking with a friend of hers who is not in great shape) but she's gotten it in her head to do another triathlon so she's starting to run again and wants to race to give herself little motivators. very cool. i think i'll just be aiming for 20:xx, given how my last 5k went. will not taper or anything, treat it as a training run.

thanks adarq!
actually followed through on signing up for the half marathon in march. it was expensive, too, so i'm really committed now!
