Subject: advice on back to back weekend races Hi gang,
I have what I consider a "c" priority 10 mile run road race this saturday. My longest run this season has been 9 miles at a very easy pace. My PR at this particular run is 1:14. However, due to some changes in lifestyle (newborn twins to go along with the 5 year old ), my training hasn't been consistent enough to beat that PR - at least I think not.
I also have an "A" priority sprint triathlon the following the weekend. My question is this: should I take the 10 miler as an easy training run and stay aerobic throughout? I don't want to risk injury or "dead legs" when I'm not very confident in PR'ing this year. I have a couple of buddies that I could run it with who will go at a 8:30-9:00 pace.
My lactate threshold is about 179 right now. I'd stay around 160-165 for the run.
Thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. |
