Another successfull long run today. Ran the first half just under a 9:00/mile pace and ran the second half at an 8:15 pace or better. Felt pretty good the whole way. With the half-marathon coming up I wasn't sure how far I should run today so at some point in the run before the halfway point I concluded that 16 would be a good number. This caps off another great mileage week for me at 54 miles. My body is doing amazingly well considering my history of injury and back problems. I worry about pushing it too hard too soon so hopefully I am able to just maintain this amount of training through the colder months. Weather is still great, it will be interesting to see how long I can still run in shorts and a long sleeve shirt.
Time: 8:29/mile |
