Yup, got into the 5K before it closed.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

10 minutes arc trainer, 5 minutes stair climber + 27 minutes lower body strength.

Finally got three running days in a row to do the Rival Run Challenge and 5k and finished today (although I did take liberties with the order going 5k, half, 10k). I have officially taken the medals out of the box now

Now, less that 12 hours on the countdown to hitting the road for MK to celebrate my 40th tomorrow!

3.46 last night, about an 8:15 pace.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

was supposed to run this morning but overdid it with lower body strength yesterday - my lower back is angry. Did some halfassed core this morning and about 15 minutes of cardio

I'm approaching distances where Idk how to correctly prepare for the pre/during run.

I use to run a lite 3-4 miles to just keep my legs and muscles loose the day before. Thou in the past 3 years I moved that run two days before the race and don't run the day before. Personally, I've done better in Half races when I've added a day or two where I ran over 13.1 in training and the day before and day of training those 13.1+ miles was like a test day to see what would work on race day - dinner the night before, bed time, water in-take, shoes, clothing, etc.... Most running books have a chapter or 2 about this and what to prepare for, but the best way to know what works for you is to try it out in a training run. If your following a training program, look up books from the person and they may share more helpful tips.

The best way to prepare for more miles is rest for legs the day before and make sure your hydrated. It can be a mind game going from 3-5 miles and then moving up to 5-7 miles... But 5 miles is more than a 3rd of the half and 7 miles you ran more than half the half and when you get to 9 miles, just keep running to 13! Best to you!

Most of the time, I will take the day before off from running. I always make sure to warm up well before the race,
but a little extra rest before a long race cannot hurt.

Stay off my feet as much as possible.

Before EVERY Disney race I'm walking around a theme park the day before...never seemed to bother me

 

[Greenlawler]

Pretty comfortable 5 miles at a 10 pace.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

Still nursing a sore lower back from Wednesday - taking a full rest day

 

[Greenlawler]

Did a pretty uncomfortable 4 in the blazing heat.

 

[Demarke]

13.8 yesterday at Magic Kingdom and 18.6 miles today between Animal Kingdom and Epcot pushing a wheelchair both days (gf had foot and ankle surgery a month or two ago). Does that count as a ruck?

My hands and arms have decided that we are getting an ECV for Uni/IoA tomorrow
