Plan called for 10K race or time trial at 15-20 sec faster than HM pace; debated Elvis Run at Hefner Saturday morning but decided to save $40 and take it onto the treadmill for a motor-vation run while watching Dukes of Hazzard (old series); 37:10 ; DS Trainers
Realizing the role that the brain plays in performance and how hitting a race that will likely be a solo effort faster than PR pace at a windy lake...(etc.)....it sometimes is best to fall back to what will lead to the most confidence because even though I know the circumstances, a bad race on paper can still mess with my head.
Do I really think I can hit a low 37 road race 10K? Certainly not solo or at any of the relative low turn-out 10Ks we have around here when the weather is cooler. Treadmilling leads to better performance on a speed effort for me due to no variation when the mind starts to say "slow down". I was sweating (fan off; heater on) but Houston HM might be humid so all the better.
ART work after on lower legs.
