Week 12, Day 5
Phase: Marathon
Workout: 40 to 50 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
Easy 45 minutes treadmill run tonight. No real aches and pains, just a slight overall fatigue. Probably a bit run down but nothing that a Saturday 6k race and Sunday 20 miler can’t fix!

Distance: 5.7 miles
Time: 45:00
Pace: 7:38 per mile

Tomorrow I plan on racing the New Quarter Park 6k in Williamsburg, Virginia. Should be an interesting run over a distance I’ve only raced once on the road before; back in 2004 if I remember correctly. My time on that particular occasion was 22:16 (5:59 per mile pace) so I wonder how close I can get to that in the morning??

Let me see……I’ll be bold and predict a 21:42 - a new 6k PR and fast enough to earn me another Samichlaus beer.
