I am enjoying this transition from speed to Centurion Training. Every race I train for I want to race a little faster than I train. In a Centurion race I want to race slower than I train. This gives me the perception that the effort feels easy. You want a Centurion qualifier to feel easy the first 12  to 18 hours. The Idea is to keep you heart rate down. Have your body set up to burn fat during the race. The perception of easy with a comfortable pace makes all this happen. I feel like I could do my Race in The Netherlands right now. A good place to be in mentally and physically three week away.
