I am thinking I will take off from the races through the summer and continue with training to work towards a faster pace. One of my main goals is to be able to run the WDW wine and dine with my husband in November- and not be slowing him down too much :) I still have the Diva half next month, but beyond that I am planning on a new training schedule to focus on improving speed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361797478774663571.post-11218762209449411142012-04-22T22:48:01.405-04:002012-04-22T22:48:01.405-04:00Can you send me dinner? Sounds like a great food ...Can you send me dinner? Sounds like a great food plan :)!<br /><br />Here in AZ there are very few races to be found. I did find a 5K summer series last year, but it's tough to even do a 5K when it's 100 out. So, not much on my calendar for the summer.<br /><br />Working on speed is not a bad thing, but you probably need to adjust your racing plan a bit. You can still do your races, but instead of trying to go full out, you'll have to treat them as more of training runs. Don't set PR goals, don't race full out so that it takes so long to recover. You just have to adjust things a bit, but you can still do it.<br /><br />Personally, I'd be careful that you don't burn yourself out. A half marathon a month is a great goal, but if that's the goal, it needs to be the only goal. You shouldn't try to PR on half marathons and increase your speed.<br /><br />That's not to say that you won't get to that point. You can get to that point, but pace yourself (no pun intended) :)!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150626438827196914noreply@blogger.com
