10 K Build Up

Feb.13, 2019
2.5 K: 15:18.15
2.5 K: 14:32.50
2.5 K: 14:00.43
2.5 K: 10:42.53
Total 10 K: 54:33.60

I ran a 2.5 K loop in my neighborhood 4 times. I started off slowly, and then gradually increased the pace until I finally ran the last lap @ 4:17/K. The course tonight is almost completely flat. I visualized the last 3 K of the Ohme 30 K Road Race as I hammered down the road, because that part of the race is also flat. 

As always, during the first 20 minutes I didn't feel good at all. Then sometime around the end of the second lap, I suddenly felt light, and saw my watch. It's about 24 minutes since I started. It's always around this timing that I get a dopamine rash to start feeling better. 

The increase in pace in the last lap was sudden and significant, but I was able to handle is fairly easily. 

Tomorrow I will jog for an hour or so, just to keep my cardio-vascular system in good nick.
