Unlike expected when I left home for running, today… I ended up making a long distance workout: 12,73 km in one hour.
For future reference:
- I started really relaxed and controlling my pace
- Mentally, I opted for a kind of a zen state of mind
- I have no pains whatsoever
- Only drank water at 7,5 km
- Did not need to do effort management
- The last kilometre (12th) was done faster
- I ended the workout less tired than I expected
With this mark, I will make a good race in the Golden Marathon 15k, for sure, something around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I will start doing more workouts like these, but taking special care not to enter in a fatigue state… prior to Easter hollidays a few 7k runs and that’s it.
