I'm usually amazing at pacing myself, but I think because I've slowed down for the summer, it's thrown off my natural gauge.

When I am training for a race, I always tell myself to give it all my all during the last little bit of the run. I try to envision the finish line and just sprint until I hear my Garmin beep. It usually does the trick, even when I want to quit. I always say to myself "Are you going to quit at the race?" NO, run it!" The pep talks we give ourselves :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975156527926120864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-13645318779536642252014-08-27T06:15:27.650-04:002014-08-27T06:15:27.650-04:00Wow there must be a reason for the tense shoulders...Wow there must be a reason for the tense shoulders.

I agree on the get up and out the door - part of why I like my early morning workouts. The days that I mess around and don't start right away I definitely lose motivation.<br />I used to get pains and cramps in my shoulder areas a lot when I ran (especially during college). Looking back I'm pretty sure it was from the vast amounts of soda I drank and the carbonation was causing the pain.Kimhttp://day-with-kt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-27982298543819516412014-08-26T12:55:16.857-04:002014-08-26T12:55:16.857-04:00lol good point!

Definitely could not do an all out sprint for that long but I want to make sure I leave all my energy on the race course, so if I have any left, it would be nice to be able to kick it up a notch at the end. I know you do fast finishes on your long runs. I was totally channeling you when I had that idea.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-67178020945682716872014-08-26T08:30:51.836-04:002014-08-26T08:30:51.836-04:00Sprinting a full half mile sounds ridiculously har...Sprinting a full half mile sounds ridiculously hard core! I think a fast finish on your long runs could help though because it will get you used to running fast on tired legs. It seems like that would be really helpful on race day. <br /><br />That plodders article was so dumb. Everyone starts somewhere. I find it hard to believe that each of those rude, rude people popped out of the womb running 6 minute miles!

I thought it would be a dick move to sprint right by her, so I was like "Hey Donna here I come!" and she sped up too and finished before me. Oh I was such a polite runner back in the day!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-19477633047889456202014-08-26T07:15:17.715-04:002014-08-26T07:15:17.715-04:00Nice work on the tempo run!

After a while it was a little easier for me to maintain more consistent strides, but I still have a long way to go. At the Navy 10k I sprinted the last 1/4 mile or so. It felt good, but I hadn't trained that way! I just did it to make sure this guy who was trying to pass me didn't!
