Yes, mentally I need to just chill and realize that this is not a PR year! My main tip was for them to gradually increase their weekly mileage volume. I know - shocking ground-breaking revelations! :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-3869870369603112322017-06-07T13:19:24.493-07:002017-06-07T13:19:24.493-07:00Thanks.

Unlike a 5k which is over so quickly, the pain has enough time to catch up with you - therefore you have to "respect the distance" and be hyper aware during the first 5k how fast you can realistically run and not flame out in the second 5k. miles. 10ks used to be the "normal" street race distance until 5ks took over the world about 10 to 15 years ago. So whenever I run one I feel like I'm paying tribute to our running forefathers!

Still an impressive time and I can't believe it was only good enough for 3rd in age group (still impressive!)!

I think it's definitely because of the hot and humid temps. Our bodies are still getting acclimated.

This was our first humid & muggy weekend and we were all in for a shock! That being said, I know what you mean about wanting this year to be as awesome as last year. That was me, last year... but also not running as much or doing as much as I was the year before! LOL. <br /><br />Love that those younger guys said that to you! I hope you gave them some good tips ;) Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-42028920161742235262017-06-06T05:03:38.826-07:002017-06-06T05:03:38.826-07:00Wow, at first I was like 27:59? but then I saw you...Wow, at first I was like 27:59? but then I saw your finish time I figured it out...Great job pushing through a tough race. It was pretty humid on Sunday and we really haven't been able to train in those conditions at all--pretty sure that made it tough for you. Way to tough it out.Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-8304524664999792092017-06-05T20:49:47.386-07:002017-06-05T20:49:47.386-07:00Congrats on your race, man!

I just wrote my RR for a 10k I just ran, and wow....I think 10ks are really freaking tough. I find it such a calculated distance and one that is hard to get a feel for. I'm impressed you've run so many! I would be surprised if I've run 10 in the last 10 years!! Anyway, good for you for honing your mental toughness in the wake of a challenging race. Hopefully you felt better at the mile. Inspiring as always, friend!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695890488184466585noreply@blogger.com
