Running 5km. The only thing on my mind.
So last Tuesday I ran 5k in 27:40 something like that.
Then I was timed again on Friday and I did it in like 23:30.
If you are a runner, you understand this is a significant improvement. Even though on Tuesday it was extremely hot and Friday was nice and cool... this is still intensely different.
23:30... is an amazing time for a 16 year old girl to do a 5k. I would likely score in the top 20 at meets.... depending, obviously.
But I still want to make it faster. I want to run it in 20:00. Which would make me in the top 5 (likely would at least). That means I need an average of a 4:00/km pace.
Right now my pace is averaging at 4:42, but I run between 4:10-4:53 usually. But I usually am steady at 4:20-4:45. It basically averages out to 4:42.
I want to slash :42 seconds per km off of my time. That is insane. Insane. No. It is not. If I work hard, I might be able to do this. I just might have to throw up a few times (I mean this in the sense that when you work too hard you throw up, not in an anorexic way), pass out a bit, and maybe fall down a couple of times.
But I will do a LOT of training this week. I only can make practice Tuesday, and maybe Friday. I am going to do Monday and Thursday on the Treadmill at Goodlife. I like training on the treadmill because you can set in your pace, and so you know you are steady. I will do that Monday and Thursday. Sunday and Wednesday I will train by myself outside not at practice. Likely I will do some sprints as well. If I can get my 100m sprint down to 13 seconds, I might join track and field for 100m sprints in the Spring. But thats not what I am focusing on.
Right now (without trying too hard) my sprints are about 16 seconds.
But anyways.
I am planning on making OFSSA. Or I hope to.
HOLY FUCK. People made ofssa with times of 23:30! They got like 160th. But. Yeah. Having a time of 20:00 would be nice. I might get like 20th at Ofssa.
But I am not saying I am going. I just really hope I do.
Oh goodness I am now really pumped.
