AM: Easy miles with the Adidas Adios 2;  Pace: 9:37; interestingly these shoes are much more precise than my others shoes; you need to run them more carefully; at the other side you faster uphill with these shoes as they respond to the street very well; this is difficult to describe i guess the continental rubber of these shoes are responsible; 

wearing a singlet these days definitely makes the run better 

 

PM: miles on the treadmill ; 1 mile 6% incline;  1 mile 2% decline;  first try to run downhill on the treadmill will see if i am sore tomorrow

Race:

This was a good lesson.  

   Day before the race:  I did an anti-taper day, the day before the race i ran about 9 miles easy and then played soccer the evening before the race; so overall i ran about 5 soccer miles in addition to the easy run.  

   Race day:  I started the race sub 7 mile pace the first 2 miles;too fast! then i broke down and kind of made it to the finish;  in addition my GI system was also irritated;  while crossing the finish line i had the strongest urge of throwing up however fortunately i did not need it to do.  

    I wanted to run this race that way w/o any taper to mimic a marathon like situation of mile 16 or so; this definitely seemed to work; i felt really bad the whole race; and i was barely only able to run marathon pace; but not 10K pace; it felt like treshold pace or V-MAX; the conditions were very humid; too warm all of the sudden as well;

   I think a long run the day before is okay; but an all out soccer game at the evening i cannot recommend.  will take it easy next time in terms of soccer;  nevertheless i still was able to PR from my last 10k in January/2013.
