Got up early and did 3 miles easy then 10 at marathon pace. Goal today was to keep my 10 miles under 6:30 pace. I would love to get a pr in my upcoming marathon, which would be anything under 6:30 pace. Not sure I am there yet-but still have a little more than 5 weeks for training. Anyway, splits for 10 miles were 6:24, (down) 6:35 (flat) 6:57 (up) 6:15 (down) 6:09 (down) 6:07 (down). The last 4 miles were at the track and I averaged 6:30 pace. (My garmin kept wanting to count each mile on the track short-so I kept track myself) overall average pace for 10 miles was 6:27. (1 mile cd) Felt relaxed today. Was hoping for slightly faster miles at the track but that's ok-I'm happy with the way my body felt. I think more track workouts may help me-which I will do over the next couple weeks. |
