Ran with a Monday night group back in my hometown. The first 4 miles I averaged a 7:39/mi pace. The 3rd mile was a little slower and the fourth a little faster. At one point I was doing a 7:18/mi pace. Then I dropped close to my marathon goal pace for the last two miles and ended up averaging 8:15/mi. The pace was difficult to determine because it was so cold. I kept jumping between 8 and 9 min/mi. |
