Clarendon Day 5k

Five months between blog posts yet again. I promised I'd update more frequently, but unfortunately I continue to be terrible with updates. Better late than never though right? I ran the Clarendon Day 5k last weekend, my first time running this event and man was it fun! So much downhill, by far the fastest 5k course I've ever run. I trained for about six weeks for it with the help of a friend who has been coaching me a bit recently. I really want to break 20 minutes for a 5k, it's been a goal for a few years now but I never specifically focused on 5k workouts. There wasn't much time for it as I've been busy marathon training once a year for the past five years now. No marathon this fall has allowed for some changes in the running routine and it's been fun mixing it up. My six week training block for this race had it up's and downs. I ran 6 days a week with 3 of the days very easy and 3 of the days harder workout runs and 1 day completely off each week.
