Personal:

I retired from the Army after 26 years of service in 2010.  I moved home to Arizona.  My wife and I are empty nesters.  In 2016 I had stents placed in my heart after discovering coronary artery disease.  Since early 2016 I have lost 30 lbs and got in much better shape.  August 2017 I retired again. We served a mission to Mexico from October 2017 until April 2019.

plan one mile warm-up and then 4 to 6 half mile repeats at around 7:35 pace.  If I slowed by even 5 seconds per half mile I was to stop the repeats and just finish the work-out.  total time 63:10.  splits 9:40, 8:04, 8:15, 9:16, 9:39, 9:31, 8:44.  I did 4 half mile repeats in 3:48.10 (2:28 recovery), 3:44.88 (2:32), 3:46.75 (2:34), 3:54.93.  I then just ran until the last half mile which I picked up the pace and ran in 4:03.28.  average heart rate 135.

plan was for 13 miles and to do 2 three mile segments "no slower than 8:30 pace".  I ran the first segment from 3 to 6 miles going 8:05 pace.  The last 45 seconds or so I did slow but that is ebcause I had been running at about 7:50 pace for a few minutes.  The second segment I shortened to 2 miles because I was having to go near full effort to hold even 8:35 pace.   Before the half-way point I decided to run more than 13 and see if this workout would give me a half marathon PR and it did!  my watch said 1:56:09 for the half but that was my time for the 13.15.  here are the details:  total time 1:56:09.  splits 9:24, 8:57, 8:57, 8:05, 8:06, 8:04, 9:38, 9:14, 9:03, 8:22, 8:30, 9:28, 9:02, 1:20  average heart rate 135 average pace 8:50.
