Good long run today. We went out on a country road that is a challenging 16 mile out and back course that is rolling hills the entire way. Overall 16.5 miles at 7:09 average pace. Second half was into the wind and overall is a net uphill but we still ran 1:20 faster on way back. What I was more pleased with wax the last 5 miles which is where there is a lot of long uphill stretches. We had splits of 7:00, 6:58, 6:50, 6:48, and 6:35 for last 5 miles. Felt decent today and pace was comfortable/conversational the whole way. Good sign at the end of a 90 mile week and about 60 hours at work. |
