Taper Mode 10000m
On Tuesday I was out at the track for a final tempo run over 2000m before tonight and the ACTVAC 10000m Championships. Ran it how I hope to run the race tonight, an 80 second lap then under until I get 100m or more in front of 33:20 schedule, then staying relaxed for as long as possible, keeping good form and eventually fighting for a good time. The 2000m tempo was 6:24
Maria and Kathy also at track on Tuesday, Helen on coast still. Kathy 4 x 200m in 42. Maria 4 x 200m in 42 and a 1000m tempo in 3:49 paced by me.
I have had a niggle in the foot. There was no pain on Tuesday and it ensured in looking after the niggle I hit my taper. Weight is 56kg which is roughly where I was in December. I was 1kg lighter a couple of weeks ago. Will aim to get back there in the next week or so if the foot is willing.
The race tonight? Not sure if I get any help or how many I have to lap. 32 degrees and some wind this afternoon. Hope the wind dies down and the temperature drops a little. If not I have planned to get some help at the water table, cup of water on the head every lap.
