Good run today. Ran the first 8 miles at about an 8:52 pace then stepped it up a bit for the final 4 miles to drop the pace to 8:41 overall. Trying harder to work on the mental aspect of running and trying to relax and run smooth even when exhaustion is setting in. Final four miles were 8:21, 8:10, 8:22, 8:31. After Fontana next week there will be 18 weeks until the SGM and it will be time to start piling on the miles and the intensity.
Time - 8:41/mile |
