After a disappointing 14th week, it is time to rethink the running strategy and continue running for the remainder of the year. I have more expectations from this week. Let’s see how they turn out to be.
Day 95 – 04/05/2021 – 1794/271
The first run of the week. I wanted to enjoy some longer run, so chose to take the usual 10K route which takes me through both Northville and Novi. Today’s run was faster than I expected, all thanks to the lovely Michigan weather.
As my mileage is going up, I am paying more attention to running slowly so that I don’t get injured. I have observed that if I run slowly, the distance doesn’t matter. I think this strategy is going to be a key for me to achieve my target. Let’s see.
Day 96 – 04/06/2021 – 1790/270
The second run of the week. I decided to take a shorter route for today’s run. This 4-mile route takes me through Downtown Northville and gives me a chance to see more people on the streets. As I have mentioned before, my pace is usually better when I run through the Downtown area. The run was pretty normal and I didn’t mind spending some time out in the Sun.
Day 97 – 04/07/2021 – 1783/269
The third and last run of the week. I went out for the run in the morning time as my afternoon schedule was pretty tight. The only downside of running during that time was that I had my phone with me and I had to answer a couple emails while out on the run.
Constantly stopping and resuming my run made me take much longer than I expected.
I was very disappointed at the end of the run and wished it would have gone smoother.
Anyway, it was the end of the run, so there was nothing I could have done about it.
Before you go, please check out the week number 15 highlights. I finished 17.5 miles this week, bringing the distance to cover in 2021 to 1782.8 miles, that’s 6.7 miles every single day for the remainder of the year!
See you next week!
