Sounds like a tough long run! Great running today. You don't consider MP fast miles??

Andrea,

Thanks! I tend to think of threshold pace as the cut-off. Threshold and faster is "fast" because it's less aerobic. Overall a workout with MP miles becomes a quality workout though, when a normal long run without MP miles isn't really a quality workout.
