Got up this morning and did a long run outside. 9 miles ez followed by 7 miles at marathon pace. First 9 miles in 7:35 pace. Last 7 mile splits were 6:13 (down) 6:38 (down and up) 6:52 (up) 6:15 (down) 6:13 (down) 6:19 (track) 6:18 (track) overall avg for last 7 was 6:23-24. Pace for the last 7 miles wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked it to be but it was also a little faster than marathon pace. (Did take a gu and Gatorade at 7 miles in) |
