AM - 20 mile LR. wanted to do 30 but i started at 8AM and by 18 miles it was mid-80's and not being too conservative on pace meant my goose was near cooked, so stopped at 20
splits:
7:18, 7:10, 7:03, 7:09 7:03
7:01, 7:07, 7:10, 7:07, 7:06
7:08, 6:55, 6:45, 6:55, 6:49
6:48, 6:38, 6:38, 6:32, 6:12
avg pace 6:56. haven't done 20 in a few months, but from november-february when i was doing one or two a week i think i was running 7:10-7:15 range at peak fitness. more effort spent today than on those, but it's the first time i've gone over 15 since february, and 20's a whole different animal. it'll get easier. didn't really make an effort to run fast until the last mile, everything else just was the pace my legs carried me to. we only go up from here.
