I am a late forties kayak racer. My goal is to compete at the World Masters Games in Turin, Italy in 2013. I will be racing in ICF sprint kayaks. This blog will be my training diary for the next 4 yrs. I use a variety of running, weights, and cross training to hopefully become a better kayaker.

Cold Morning Run

Today's run was in the morning, because I had commitments after work. So I ran at 6am, in the dark, and I might add cold.

I started out OK, for the first two sets of 4 minute jog / 1 minute walk, but I went down hill after that. I just did not have the gas to go quicker. My times were definitely not very good, compared to my previous times. I was still going faster than on Tuesday,but I know I can go much faster. I should have been in the mid to high 12s.

Maybe it was the cold or just the time of day. My resting pulse was back to the normal level, so I was good to push it. Maybe it is the nutrition aspect of it. I was running without having breakfast first.
