2mile warmup then 3 at marathon pace. Did it on an out and back course. First mile was 6:16, then 6:31, then 6:32. Overall avg for the 3 was 6:26. I am targeting a 6:20-24 pace for my fall marathon so I wasn't very happy with my last 2 miles. This pace felt much to hard for marathon pace today. Not sure what my problem is because I should have been fresh and 3 miles at mp should be no big deal. Maybe it was just an off day for some reason.... |
