Tackling A Rainy And Intense Fitness Level Run

ByTim Nolte

It was a very short run this morning but the intent was to go all out and run as hard as I could for 12 minutes. uses these periodic runs to get a baseline fitness level to make adjustments to the training plan. I’m surprised I came in finishing at a 7:43 pace but that included both a 5 minute warm-up and cool-down intervals. I did end up averaging a 7 min/mi pace for the 12 minute intense part of my run.

Despite it being a rainy morning it still felt good to be out for a run. After the 2017 downpour, and consistent winter training, I’m pretty much good to run in anything. If you are going to run a race outside you have to train in everything if you want to be prepared.

    Feeling Like An Intense 5K Run

    As I hit the pavement this morning I felt like just kicking into high gear for the entire run. I’m not quite sure that it was an overall lifetime #PR for a #5K but I’m pretty sure I finished better than more recent 5K times. What’s crazy is that it wasn’t like I had gotten…
