This is the first time I have ever done a 10 miler in the middle of the work week. Had to get up at 4:00 am this morning in order to get done in time to get the kids to school and get to work. Pfitzingers 18/55 plan calls for several of these mid week "longer" runs and I honostly think these will be a big help for my endurance or at least that is the theory. Run went well and was able to maintain a consistant moderate pace throughout. Run was supposed to be a general aerobic run and I am still trying to decide my best pace for these runs. I imagine somewhere between 8:00 and 8:30 is probably about where I should be right now for this type of run. Knee pain is still there but as usual is not really much of a hinderance when I run so I am still hopeful it is on the mend. Another mild temp day at 39 degrees and very light breeze.
Time: 8:19/mile |
