I spent a year running workouts on a track, doing repetitions and saying, "Triviski could do that. But he couldn't do one more." Then I'd do one more.<br /><br />I have names for those extra gears used in the final minutes. There's "Grizzly Bear on Adderall;" there's many photos of me at the end of races where you can see that ferocious intensity with laser-like focus. Then comes "Avalanche" - you can't outrun me and you're about to be wiped off the face of the earth. There's yet one more gear, which I've only hit once (maybe twice) and haven't named - it'd be something supernatural, if I named it.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-66415211009039021452011-04-10T18:34:31.798-07:002011-04-10T18:34:31.798-07:00Nice job on the 5K and consistent pace.

Last minute races are sometimes the best, no worry and getting yourself worked up over how it will go.<br />I had no idea NYC had a garunteed entry (at least one that I could likely do), now I'm excited since that has always been one of my must do races.Coach Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110749177657676900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-58925860369417053302011-04-10T18:02:23.543-07:002011-04-10T18:02:23.543-07:00You will find your fast self soon.

I've recently ran a 19:26, and am going to try to break 19 this summer! Good luck with the half!Running and livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057835870342142162noreply@blogger.com
