10K, workout #51

Today, a short workout with strides as preparation for a race tomorrow.

The workout

Five strides, or, in other terms, five times 100m at maximum speed, a good, dynamic warming-up, 2K easy, then the strides with 100m recovery in between, and finally 2K easy to cool off. The idea is to get the legs working and get in some speed, without tiring too much.

Afterwards

The 100 meters again felt very short, but it's just to get the legs working and the heart rate up. Pace for strides was around 2:50/4:34 per km/m.

Tomorrow I'm doing a 10K in Delft. It's not a big race, but the course is said to be fast, and, also important, people tell me it's a fun, local race. Wish me luck!
