Four weeks to duathlon

It was supposed to be a 5K run but ended up running a10K (as Coach Jay Sales suggested to make my program 5K-10K-10K or 10K-10K-15K). Second wind, that’s it. Still have more in the tank but I was happy completing 25 oval loops. My time was 1 hour and 3 minutes. Love the slow burning sensation.

There’s this duathlon coming this June 5, 2011 (Sunday) and I am planning to join this race in Nuvali. It’s a trail event so I am still unsure on what to expect because most of my trails are not actually run, but more mountain bike rides. So I was looking forward to have a good trail run this week.

The Men’s Health All Terrain Race is a 10K trail run and 20K trail mountain bike ride. Entrance to the event is Php800, and there’s also just a trail run (5K, 10K and 16K) and bike race (20K and 40K).

I am now training for the duathlon and my schedule is 5K, 10K, 10K MWF and 50km bike on weekends.

I still have 4 weeks and I do upper body weights training in-between the run. I am building some mileage and I plan to make it to the top 10 finisher for the trail event.
