It’s been hard for me to train recently because of the hot
weather, lightning storms, and rain, and with all the extra workouts, I feel
heavy and sluggish. However, I still have a race to run.
I’ve signed up for the Reno 10
Miler. The Reno 10 Miler is a race that starts in downtown Reno under the famous Reno Arch. The course
then heads to UNR, and the runners get to run in and out of Mackey Stadium. We
then head back to the Truckee River and finish near the Reno arch. It’s a fun 10 miles through some
pretty areas of Reno.
A 10 mile race is becoming a
popular race distance nationally. It’s longer than a 5K or 10 K, but it’s
shorter then a half marathon. So, to perform well you need to have some
endurance, but you can also use speed. A 5K can be completed at a speedy pace
because it will be completed quickly. A half marathon needs to be completed at
a slower pace because the distance is so much longer. So, for a 10 miler race, a
balance between speed and endurance needs to be found. I know I have the
endurance. I just feel sluggish recently, and I probably won’t make a PR
(Personal Record). However, since I like to make long term goals, I’ve made a
long term goal. I think it would be cool to run the 10 miler for 10 years in a
row. This would be my third year. So, as long as I finish, I still take a step
towards my goal.
