I try to get a few good runs in, I eat carbs and drink water and no booze (kind of a bummer, pasta with no wine).<br /><br />I take it easy and prepare to enjoy the run.<br /><br />Happy Running,<br /><br />ElenaElena (Running in Heels After Child)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03179565521211518527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-34657695841904765672011-03-15T21:13:16.722-04:002011-03-15T21:13:16.722-04:00Keep in mind that I am a newbie, but for my first ...Keep in mind that I am a newbie, but for my first 5K I ran M and W (pushed myself M, but reg run on W) and then took 2 days off before the Sat race. I ran a min/mile faster in the race, and I think that had something to do with my body having time to recover and prepare. <br />Good luck!Kristan Shimpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04417475185078076257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-50329325360251938722011-03-15T15:19:12.143-04:002011-03-15T15:19:12.143-04:00Personally, I think 10 is a good distance the week...Personally, I think 10 is a good distance the week before an HM. So if you're comfortable with it, go for the 10!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-27067127366056069862011-03-14T22:14:31.933-04:002011-03-14T22:14:31.933-04:00That bowl looks dangerous!

I ...That bowl looks dangerous! What a great combo.<br /><br />I like to go really hard the second to last week before a big race. I think your plan sounds perfect...maybe try for 10 miles w/6 at goal pace, but 8 would be perfectly sufficient if you need to cut it short. Then do a speed workout the Sunday or Monday beforehand. HM goal pace will feel easy after doing all out sprints. <br /><br />When you say a tempo or hill run on Thursday, do you mean Thursday of this week? Or next Thursday, 3 days prior to the race? All the work will be done by that point. There's nothing to gain, only to lose, by going too hard the final week of a race.Nullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104978798049257495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-56735959192343038512011-03-14T16:12:54.140-04:002011-03-14T16:12:54.140-04:00God that Almond butter mix sounds far too good/evi...God that Almond butter mix sounds far too good/evil to have in the house!Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681949979941583308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-58324924884444015342011-03-14T15:16:25.859-04:002011-03-14T15:16:25.859-04:00yum!yum!Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016553715852916194noreply@blogger.com
