Billy provided me with these new training paces last week based off of my MagicMile:
Since I run/walk, my Easy run will be at 15:24.
I was/am a little worried about them because it increases my M/HM/10k paces by about 40 seconds each! However, I know they are based on my Magic Mile, so I know that if I stick to it and train properly, I should be able to hit these (or close to them)!
Below is what I came up with for my run/walk intervals (with Coach's help, of course):
I am very excited and nervous to see how my upcoming training does with these new paces! Especially my I Pace run coming up on Thursday!
I have been thinking a lot about what my 2020 race schedule would look like. Obviously, I am doing the Princess 10k and Half in February, but I've begun to look at Chicago races.
These are the ones I am looking at so far:
1. Shamrock Shuffle - March 22 - $40
This one seems fun and it's not too expensive.
2. Chicago Spring Half - May 17 - $60
I need to decide ASAP if I want to do this one. It's on sale today. I think it might be a good idea to do another half after Princess, but is it too soon? Princess will likely not be a all out effort because I will be with other people/the 10k/park time, so a "best effort" half would be nice to do.
3. Soldier Field 10 Mile - May 23 - $69
I wouldn't do this one AND the Spring Half. I am a Bears fan, so this one seems cool.
4. North Shore Classic 5k - June 7 - $39
5. Rock n Roll 5k - July 18 - $35
I'm thinking of a mid-summer 5k. It was SO hot this year. It doesn't have to be this race, but thinking something short and sweet for mid summer
6. Hoka One One Chicago Half - September 27 - $60
This one is also on sale today. I could do this one instead of the Spring Half. Or maybe do the Series and get both of them? Is 3 Half's too much when I still haven't even ran ONE yet? I also want to look at the weather at the end of September. For some reason, my brain is blocking it out.
7. Hot Chocolate 15k - November 8th - $59
Even though I was really really sick, I liked this one a lot. I'd like to redeem myself!!!! This one is pretty much a "yes."
I also plan on doing the January 2021 5k, 10k, and Half during Marathon Weekend at Disney. I'm tentatively planning on entering the lottery for the October 2021 Chicago Marathon...
Welp, that's where I am at. There's no way I am doing all of those though. That's crazy. I have decisions to make.
