re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Thanks TigeRoots,

The idea of strides seem like a good fit...helps with form, only about 20 seconds, have some fun, and kill time & distance at the end.

More importantly, I need things at the "end" to help me push mentally and physically once I get tired legs and lose form.

I'm embarrassed to say, mentally, I was trying to talk myself into walking and resting during yesterday's 5K...it was much faster and harder than my norm and when it got tough, my legs felt it, and I saw others slowing, I came close to giving in.

I checked my watch, saw I was going to get a PR, and kicked those thoughts away in about 10 seconds. The harder training is finally helping with the mental softness.
