That’s a race embedded into the build-up toward a goal race–such as a 10K as you train for a half-marathon, or a half-marathon in your journey toward a full one–that allows you to gauge how well your training is going. As anyone who has ever trained for a race knows: It’s one thing to cover a set training distance or nail a tempo pace for, oh, four miles, but it’s another thing entirely to taste success and pride on a race course. And in two weeks, I’m going to sample that brew (to carry out the coffee analogy) by doing a local half-marathon.
While we recommend a tune-up race, we don’t recommend a tuning fork in a tuna fish (or vintagage REO Speedwagon albums)Īs I detailed last week, my training for the Boston Marathon is percolating nicely.
