3.5 miles in the morning on the crushed limestone path by my house.... felt good 7:17 avg.
evening 4.5 warm up and cool down...Tried out Jenny's bottle for the marathon! it's great and cheap...
6x2000m @ half marathon EFFORT... overall time was 44:03 (7:27, 7:28, 7:75, 7:12, 7:12, 7:19) about a minute slower than last month when I did this..(7:28, 7:12, 7:11, 7:09, 7:07, 7:01) But this time the 7:12 pace felt much much easier! The loop is very rolling, not a flat stretch the whole way, so it's hard to find a rhythm at first... this time was especially hard obviously... but once I got it it was very comfortable. I like the fact that we do these on this loop it really teaches you how to listen to your body to find the appropriate "effort", and makes you physically and mentally stronger! |
