Cupid's Chase 5K Corpus Christi

On the Gulf coast, the variable to plan for is not hills but wind, which can make one direction of a course noticeably harder than the other. The answer is to run the exposed section on effort and take back the time when the wind is behind you, rather than fighting for even splits. The 9:00 a.m. start keeps the race in the cooler part of a Texas morning. Whether you are lining up for a first 5K or using it as a speed session with a bib, warm up for 10 to 15 minutes and add a few strides so you can settle into your pace within the first quarter mile.
