Notes
YONSEI UNIVERSITY HAS AN OUTDOOR TRACK!!! THANK GOD!!!!
I decided to do the workout on the track for a few reasons. 1. There are way too many blocks for me to be able to run without stopping. 2. If I am going to run a 10k on the track, this would be a good practice for enduring the mental aspect of 25 laps. 3. It would be easier to keep track of my pace whenever I want.
Decided to run slower because I want to be safe and I have not tried to run steady state in Korea yet. Started out very rough. First 1600 felt very tough and I already felt out of breath. I decided to slow down the pace a bit and it worked to me advantage. It was very difficult getting through the 5k part and then telling myself I had to do all of that.......again. Managed to stay focused and started to get surprisingly faster. Did what every other athlete does in a 10k and went all out on the last lap and striked an 82, not too bad.
This workout was very tough and I think I went out too fast. I was heavily exhausted and could not run for 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I did not run early enough so I could not do strides or extra miles. I am going to try to do them later when I have time.
Also, when I looked back at my splits, I discovered that I skipped a lap haha. Whoops. Better the mistake made in a workout rather than in a race. Gotta be more careful next time.
