overall great run. Freezing cold this morning, my face was numb for the majority of the run. Miles 6-8 were slight up hill but good to see the effort was still around 6:00 min pace.

Solid tempo - Getting used to putting in a strong effort for over an hour will pay big dividends.

Jake if i wanted to run a sub 2:25 marathon in the spring. For the tempo that is longer than ten miles, What pace should i shoot for?

From Jake K on Sun, Jan 29, 2012 at 22:08:13 from 67.177.21.60

I would shoot for MP (5:30-5:40) depending on the profile of the run - maybe a little slower than MP or right at it on flat roads. I would say that you don't want to do too many in the 10+ range though. Workouts like 2 x 5 or 3 x 3 @ MP are good way to practice MP running w/out beating your legs up too much.

thanks Jake for taking time to give me advice I really appreciate it a ton. Still trying to figure this marathon thing out.
