Lunch - hard workout. Ran pretty much all of the Pat's run course (except for the part that goes into the stadium), plus the 2 miles to get there and back from my work. Here is the course: Lunch Run Pats Run. I forgot to bring my Garmin today, so the only mile I know about for sure was the first one (just from experience). First mile was about 7:10, I will count that as MP effort. Hit the lap button on my watch at 24:38, and after mapping out the run, the average pace for that portion was 6:42/mile. Last 2.33 miles was in 15:06, average pace of 6:28/mile. Average pace for the entire 6 mile run was 6:37/mile. I was pretty beat after this run, but this gives me a better idea of how fast I should be able to run for Pat's run. The last 5 miles of the run were in an average of 6:30/mile, so I should definitely be able to do faster than that. |
