The Hotter The Better: 10K Run
A new PB (personal best) today: 55:20, a time which includes two walking water breaks, beating the 2012 10K Ottawa Race Weekend time. The coach loves hot and humid weather, it's great for fitness and to lose weight: 4Kg lost since February, when there were some extra pounds gained after Xmas.
Today the 10k was on a beautiful river course, all the way to the NSC light house, great weather, no wind.
This chart combines HR (red) and speed (blue, in reverse):
Summary:
A few of the players and I started running in February focusing on the ORW 10K at the end of May. After this was achieved (with a great showing by the boys), our goal now is 15Km. This has proven an illusive goal as we need to increase the distance by 10% every week, and we must do a short run in the middle of the week, a process we follow rigorously to avoid injury. These short runs are actually the difficult ones to do by the players and the coach who are busy with soccer and other activities.
Our top priority is not getting injured. Last week knees were acting up, they were iced for 5 days and the problem went away, back in top shape. The only minor injury is a small annoying high ilotibial sprain which comes on and off.
15K will be achieved soon!
