So I have been immersing myself in inspirational propagnda for a past 2 days...well yesterday was pretty much soley Kona...today I was youtubing select inspirational commercials...like my fav Versus commercial from the summer...
"It's you vs them"--haha. Yes...this is the one from July...Bad ass coach dude..."It's you vs can't...it's you vs NO...excuses..." etc etc etc. Haha.
I thrive on this...I have also been listening to some saweet "Eye of the Tiger"...Maybe I should just watch Rocky IV and get that out of the way? Hmmm?
Anyways. Went for a 6km run today...felt pretty decent. Didn't do the 20km as was originally set out in my training plan due to the twinging pain during a 15km hill run on Thursday. Took a few days to make sure I hadn't completely re-injured myself and to stretch out my glutes. My ass isn't bothering me too much right now. My knees were feeling a little bit grindy. I'm so glad there is only really one week left in this season. Hahaha. I want to do some Zumba and strength and decompress before starting the IM build (and rest my legs, of course).
My current NWM race plan: conservative conservative conservative. Since I have never done one before, the first half is going to be pretty chill, focusing on getting into a good rhythm and easy stride. I'm going to really try to focus on having a solid 10km from 25-35km and then bringing the last 7km home with whatever I have left. Smart fueling (I bought all my Carb-boom gus and my GU Brew the other day).
NWM week plan: I'm going to get an easy 10km in tomorrow, a 5km of strides in on Wed, an easy 5km on Fri. Sat is my travel day with my MAGIC PANTS...and then Sunday is the big day! Sleep, sleep, sleep...carbo load on Thurs/Fri night. Hydrate...all that good stuff! :)
Just have to trust that I have done all I can do in prep for this marathon, given the ass injury and long season. Get in there and giv'er!
It's ON!
