Ullevål course: Endurance-session

Thuringen Ultra-2010

After two days of recovery I was back again to se if my days off from running had paid off. I did a very short endurance session at marathon-pace on a course with little elevation. It felt good. My feet were almost fresh. I even had the speed left. Promising. I made an effort to keep a very steady pace of 5:30 at all times to se how the body responded. I had a good feeling throughout all the workout. I even had some energy left to keep a steady pace the last 1 km. I'll stick to my programme in the days to come. That means a flexibility-session tomorrow and a very short treshold-session on Friday. The race is on Saturday-starting 0830 a.m. My aim in this race is sub 3:45. That means an average speed of 5:20. I'll write more on strategy later on.
