Morning vs Evening:
Race Day Starts Early
My body still runs better in the evening, but races begin at dawn or in the morning. I woke at seven, ate a banana, and left at 7:45. Next comes seven, then six.

I need to shift toward morning running. Every race begins at dawn or in the morning, so my body clock needs to learn the same schedule. After so many evening runs, my condition and energy still feel better later in the day. This morning's jog was harder than expected. Morning and evening, evening and morning: the small contest inside my training is now morning versus night.
Today I woke at seven, ate one banana, and left at about 7:45. The next target is a seven o'clock start, followed by six. Start times do not move overnight any more than mileage appears all at once. First I will pull the clock forward by 45 minutes, then another hour when my body adapts. Today's 10 km trained the clock as much as the legs.
Distance left to run · km
September now stands at 129.27 km, leaving 70.73 km to reach 200. That target no longer looks easy, but I will keep adding mileage through the remaining days without forcing the body. The Chuseok holiday begins with a 10 km jog. To every reader, may your holiday be rewarding and your mileage arrive one steady step at a time.
