Notes
Could not have run this race rehearsal workout any better. Amazing what some sun & negligible winds will do. Used the mile warm to prepare my legs for the faster miles & slowly built up the pace. Hit half marathon pace very quickly in the first mile of that section & then easily maintained that effort steadily & very naturally increasing pace over the next three miles. Had no problem accelerating at the start of the fourth mile of the rehearsal section & again midway through plus I was able to hold the increased speed very nicely. Cool down mile remained pretty fast, but felt slow after the four harder miles. Felt stronger the longer I ran & my legs still felt very strong at the end of the six miles. Now to translate today's run to the full race on Saturday. At least the early weather forecast looks similar today & only about 10 degrees warmer. Myrtl routine after the run.
