October 3: 205.7. On track for October 31.

October 3: 205.7. On track for October 31.

I'm going to try something tonight. My 5k's have been getting easier, so I'm going to try a 10k.

Outside, mostly on the track. I'll bring water.

I've done this before, but not outside. Only on the treadmill.

We'll see what effect this has tomorrow morning.

Any suggestions?

  1. Be prepared to do less than 10k. Have a recovery snack (protein) ready. Otherwise, have fun! (IMO sports outside are the way to go. I get so bored on rollers it's not funny.)

  2. Good ideas, Todd Sprang 

    I'll also weigh in immediately after. Who knows what'll happen.

  3. Don't drink much water, and you'll drop a good pound or two in sweat. :)

  4. decent article on making an exercise habit: http://www.webmd.com/women/features/exercise-habits#1
    i don't agree with the list 100%, but it's a decent start for ongoing ideas.

  5. Thabnks. I'm gonna need something. Pretty soon -- days, weeks, at most a month -- I will no longer have an incentive system. I have no idea if I have generated an actual habit over the last 4 months.

    I'd like to go down to 2-3 5k's a week. That sounds reasonable. Spend some other time doing strength training, probably getting instruction from Aaron Griffin  on what to do to train for running.
