RE: Nooooooooovember
T minus 7 days...
With just one week to race day, this was my last chance for a tough session before having to reign it in for a mini-taper. Thus I took to the tready for a "mountain climb", a nasty, torturous 60 minute programmed workout that would be banned under any Human Rights Treaty if compulsory. But here I was undertaking this barbaric form of medieval torture quite willingly.
Well, I have to confess that the apres-run endorphin high was a belter, but parts of this workout (i.e. the 10% incline section) were desperately hard work. The run did at least roughly equate to the hour or so starting about the 11km point in the race, and I did surivive it and maintained my pace throughout, so this was actually a good, motivating run for me.
Just a couple more routine runs now through the week before the big day.
Am I looking forward to it? Actually, yes. But it's going to be hard. Anyway, I'm about as ready as I can be at this stage. Underdone on the hills, for certain, but I will get through it. Somehow.
13km (2km warm up, 9km mountain climb, 2km cool down); 90 minutes.
YTD: 1,249.5km
