Long run up up and down Provo Canyon with Sasha, Chad R and Collin A. I really enjoyed getting out again and meeting new people while taking on a longer run. Good times.. I have'nt run 20 miles for quite some time now and although I'm not quite as fit as I used to be, it still turned out to have a much better result than I had expected. The first 12 miles were at smooth and easy pace with the last 8 progressing gradually in effort until the last mile that is.. with some rather brutal hill climb it turned the legs to jello. A great training run however and with no bonking issues which in and of itself is really encouraging. For now I'm going to make a few changes in the coming weeks on the training in order to regroup and then work towards strengthening the legs and core more in order to improve economy. I just have to keep building patiently and being thankful for the blessing I have.
20 miles total with 12 at 7:30-8/min pace with 8 at sub 6 to 6:20ish/mile.
