It's been about two and a half months since I ran the TC 1 Mile in 5:26. I have yet to run/race another single mile but might run one sooner than later.
I've been getting in low 20's for mileage the the last couple weeks and looking to slowly and steadily get up to about 40 miles a week. I'd have to consult with my coach, Nick Jones, to know for sure if that's a good training level for a 10 mile race.
However, I ran 10 miles this morning in 1:14:14. That's about 7:26 pace. Nothing special but I didn't run very well after the 7.5 mile mark, just trying to get 10 in for the day. I think I was at 7:10 pace with 2 miles to go. So you get how much I slowed.
I'd like to get a mile time in soon, another 5K again before too long and maybe a training 10 miler.
Those are the preparations for the TC 10.
Em, are you still running the Chicago Half Marathon or was that just a thought?
