intervals during a race ?
for someone reason i feel like negative nellie BUT i was just thinking about when I do some local races, 5k's or 5 miles, there always seems to be some young ladies (teens ??? ) who will pass me fast and then a few minutes later they are walking and I pass them, then a few more miles and they sprint past me, this goes on for much of the race. I can't stand that. Pace yourself ladies. Usually they wind up walking and I never see them again, but some of them do seem to beat me and i think am i racing wrong ??

I know what you are talking about and I sometimes wonder about it and thought about trying it.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about running or racing. I would totally be walking! Thanks for stopping by and for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I find it more from men, though, then anywhere else. It always kills me b/c I am NOT their competition!
ReplyDeleteI just go out there and run. I have a hard time paying much attention to my time! lol
ReplyDeleteThe group I train with actually trains this way with 5:1 intervals they tend to end up running faster than me
ReplyDeleteSome folks do a run walk faster than I run! So be it. Just do whatever works for you.
ReplyDeleteHa! I know what you mean. Like they Gallowalk the whole race. It got me through my first 10 mile (not race) when I was trying to have a breakthrough. Racing though....? I'm with you, pace yourself ladies.
