The Next Race

What a happy feeling booking my next 2 races! Am I addicted, certainly to the whole race experience.

Only a few weeks away is the O2O race in Reading. It's a 10k race on Sunday the 2nd of October. I set my goal under 1h, if I manage to maintain an average pace of under 6:00 min/Km then we are cool. On a 5k I can cruise at 5:30min/Km but that would be a wishfull thinking for twice the distance. I can only dream of a 50-55 minute 10K!

The route itself is beautiful, starting from TVP flat out by the river Thames and Kennet Cannal, it reaches Reading and returns back to Thames Valley Park. I have run parts of it on longer runs but never in a race. If October comes mild we are in for a treat!

The other race is the Reading Half Marathon, the 1st of April 2012. No need to write more about it right now.

Speed trainning (pyramids, fartleks, speedy runs) and new yellow shoes should do the trick.
