Ran on treadmill. Started out with 2 miles at 6:38 to warm up. Ran 6 2 minute surges at 5:00 pace with 2:00 recovery at 6:38. Cooled down 2 miles at 6:38 pace. My legs are ready to run 26.2 at 5:20 pace, but I haven't run a marathon in so long that I have forgotten all about the suffering over the last 6.2 miles. The last doubt/fear still lingering in my mind is can I take the pain to reach my goal or will fatigue make a coward of me? |
