The moonshot is most definitely in jeopardy. Given my recent training runs, there’s a strong possibility of exploding on take-off or a scrubbed no-go before I even start.
This was today’s “run.”
It’s a poor showing for the needed sub 7 minute mile average.
it actually needs to be a 6:40 pace for 26.2 miles… or almost 4 and a half minutes faster per mile than today’s “run.”
I’ve got a few training marathons ahead to try and get me back into racing shape as opposed to just running shape but I’m concerned to say the least.
I will be cutting back on the mileage in a gradual taper but given the weight gain and versus other factors, I’m not sure if that’s the right strategy. It’s been a long time since I made the right choices. Hell, I paid $849 for an “I” that is just given away to cheerleaders.
Sigh. Feeling blue.
