So, all of a sudden I’m sitting here a little nervous about the New Orleans half marathon. It’s this Sunday and I know I can complete it, but have no clue whether or not I’ve trained right.
I’ve honestly started looking at all upcoming races as training grounds for the one and only race that has my real focus: Ironman Wisconsin. We’ve been talking about a 1:45 for me at New Orleans, but if that comes with a need for a few days off, I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s going to take a serious effort from me and will literally cut 29 minutes off my only other 1/2.
Oh, who am I kidding, I’ll probably shoot for 1:30 and deal with the consequences.
Think of it as another training day. Use your hrt rate zones to determin how u race
