3 K Fast Run

Sanspo Chiba Marine Half Marathon takes place tomorrow.
To get ready for the race I did my final training for it.
It's 3K fast run.
You aim for 4 minutes to cover 1 K,
keep that pace, and run total 3 K.
The purpose of this training to stimulate your cardio-vascular system.
You don't want to fatigue your legs too much,
so anywhere between 3 and 5 K is optimal.
If you go beyond that distance,
you may not be able to fully recover before the race.
Tonight I ran 3 K in 12 minutes 26 seconds,
with the average speed at 4 minutes 9 seconds per 1 kilometer.
Not bad.
I'm now going to hit a shower, give my legs some massage,
do some stretching and hit the bed.
Cannot wait to hit the road tomorrow...
