Really great run today. Mostly the last half. I felt pretty normal the first half, but the second hour I felt really good. especially the last half hour. It was surprising. the workout called for 1 hour steady, 10 X 90 seconds marathon pace, 90 seconds easy, and then 20 minutes steady. Steady, in my mind being somewhere within 10% of marathon pace. These were my last 4 mile splits of steady running were uphill on the way home after 90 minutes of decent paced running: 6:25, 6:14, 6:21, 6:35. I felt really good. The miles didn't feel strained or difficult at all, and it was all up hill. It was a motivating way to finish the run. totals: 18 miles - 2:01:55 - 6:46/mile avg - 525' vert. Making visible progress which is nice. |
