Seal Beach 5K Update

Well, now I'm kind of sad. My official chip time was 35:33. So I was better than March of last year but now I'm worse than a few months ago.

I guess I haven't lost all that much though. I could probably gain it back pretty easily.

Have you tried Hill training? or fartlek?

I used to find 5k's hard to improve on until I started running 10ks. Maybe you could take it up a gear?

No, I haven't really done much beyond "let's run this distance".

I should do more advanced training, though, because I just signed up for the Long Beach Half Marathon (in October).

I woke up this morning wondering what I must have been thinking.

:) I signed up for a half which I completed in march I think. It was HARD work motivating myself for evening running in the cold dark, but really really worth it when I crossed the finish line.

Godo luck you can do it! :)

remember the more training you put in the better you'll feel on the day.
