I went out in the falling snow and ran 9 miles. I went 2 miles warm up at 7:46 AP then 1 mile down the big highway hill in 6:10 [felt like MP effort]. Then back up in 7:46 [half marathon effort]. I ran 1/2 recovery then I did 3x1 mile at half mar. pace with a 1/2 mile fast recoveries at about 7:30 pace. I hit 6:31, 6:31, and 6:25 for the 3. I don't feel like I could run a half at those paces right now even though I averaged from 6:29 to 6:31 in my last 3 halves. I feel a little slower right now but hopefully with my mileage being more consistent than it has been for any of my other marathons I can make up for the loss in speed by not crashing so bad in the later miles. I finished up with 1/2 half mile at 7:05 pace. overall pace for 9 was 7:05. |
