Airport Loop

I decided that I need to work on my endurance a bit as my 10K speed shows a prediction of a 2:55 marathon, but I know that I would die if I tried that right now. So, I ran the Airport loop at goal marathon pace effort. I started out with 6:50 miles just trying to stay ahead of the 7:00 guy. I was consistently around 6:50's the whole way except for the last mile where I put on a bit of a kick to finish with a 53:53 time. I am pleased with the effort as it shows that at least to the 8 mile mark my fitness is right where I want to be. Now to build more base and work on keeping that pace for a lot further.

Total Time: 53:53 (6:44 miles)

Ave Hr: 167

Max HR: 176 (during last mile kick)

If you just work on building base all winter and do 1 MP run a week, and striders 1-2 times a week, you will be be very strong by the time spring rolls around. And that's without doing "real" workouts (LT runs, intervals, etc.). It's good to gradually pick up to MP during your long runs as well, and it will train your body to use energy more efficiently late in a race. Pfitzinger discusses this some.
