Got up and did a long run outside today. Did 15.5 in 1:53:27 (avg overall pace was 7:20.) Felt relaxed. I did try and pick it up a bit at the end. (around 7:00 pace) Lungs felt great-legs were tired by the end though.

I think I need to pick up the pace on my long runs, I hate pushing them:) Do you run a lot of rolling hills? I need to find a route that is flat. How often do you run your marathon pace? I don't think I ever do workouts at that pace, they are either faster or slower. How do you incorporate marathon pace into your workouts. I need help there.

Hey Tara-
As far as incorporating marathon race pace into my workouts I usually go to the track (because it is flat and I can get into a good rythm) and I do long tempos at(or slightly faster) than my race pace. I start out around 5 or 6 miles at race pace then I gradually add more miles to it as I get more in shape. Sometimes at the end of my long runs I will finish the last couple miles at the track and try to pick up the pace. (on my super long runs it is really hard to hit goal pace at the end-so I just try to get them as close as possible) I like the track because it is so hard to hit "goal pace" with all the crazy hills here. (I usually try to do 1 out of every 2 or 3 long runs at a faster pace)
