Training at Bosques de Palermo, CABA

 
Last training session before the upcoming 10K race.

The route took me along Av. Sarmiento to Av. Figueroa Alcorta, and from there straight to Lago de Regatas. Upon reaching the edge of the lake, I continued along the path surrounding the golf course. There’s a calisthenics station around that area where I paused to hang for a few seconds. After that, I kept jogging around the lake, exiting via Agustín Méndez Street—which connects to Intendente Pinedo—to come out again onto Av. Figueroa Alcorta. Finally, I entered the loop surrounding the Rosedal lake and wrapped up back on Av. Sarmiento.
It was an easy jog to fine-tune everything for the 10K. Here are the key takeaways from the session:

•    Cadence: Averaged between 164–172 steps/min, peaking at 175. Maintaining over 160 steps/min throughout the entire run indicates good stability and efficient biomechanical technique.
•    Active Recovery: A brief pause at the calisthenics station was excellent for activating the upper body and breaking up the monotony of the run.
•    Terrain: A small portion of the route was done on packed dirt and crushed brick (along the golf course sidewalk). This is ideal for a low-intensity workout, as it protects the joints and helps improve aerobic endurance.
•    Steady Pace: The splits showed minimal variation (ranging between 5'52" and 6'44"/km), reflecting solid control and good effort management.
•    Strong Finish: I managed to maintain the pace despite the late-run fatigue, closing out the final kilometers with a split of 6'11"/km.

Tip for the blog: If you want to make it a bit more conversational for social media or a community post, you could add a quick intro or outro like: "Feeling good and ready for race day! How do your pre-race routines look?"
