I had to juggle my day off this week. Dialed back my speed while I upped the distance. That has done the trick. My legs feel much better. At this point in Centurion race prep, time on your feet is more important than speed. Don’t skip training days. Just rearrange your schedule.  I have decided on my New Zealand Centurion race pace. 13:25 per mile pace.  I want to average three minutes twenty seconds per lap lane one 400 meters. Lap splits would be:

1 hour 18 laps
5 hours 90 laps
6 hours 108 laps
10 hours 180 laps
12 hours 216 laps
15 hours 270 laps
18 hours 324 laps
20 hours 360 laps

403 laps total   22:21:40 Finish.  Easy splits to figure in your head. A very nice cushion for any unexpected problems.

My weight is still above where I would like it to be.. I am not to worried about it just yet. I have not gotten up to my eleven and twelve hour training weeks. If it is still up in August I will have to make a diet adjustment.

A repeat of this weeks workouts next week.
