Race: Murray/Jordan 20-miler (20 Miles) 02:02:02, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1

Total Distance

20.00

6:06 pace! So, I got myself so redemption for Sunday! The run went off better than I would have hoped. This course includes the half marathon course that I made plus quite a bit more. So yeah its not really a race, but it was a tough effort. I was thinking I could do around 2:05, but saw that I was actually in reach of going under two hours! I was tiring/slowing at the end and didn't want to completely destroy myself to chase such an arbitrary thing when I was well inside my goal pace. Previous best on this course was 2:12 and my typical range is 2:30-2:40.

Just as I learnt alot from Sunday's failure, I also learnt alot from today. I knew I was capable of such a thing but didn't know how it would feel. I got out a little too fast (18:35 5k, followed by 18:18, followed by 18:37 and hit 10 miles in 59:47) but it didn't really seem to matter at those speeds, I kind of recovered while still running fast. My shins tightened up briefly in the second 5k perhaps due to the tough pace but it didn't last. I felt really good in miles 11 and 12, I was just fully warmed up, loose and my endorphins were kicking in. Then I noticed that my right shoulder was starting to tighten up, that happens to me alot, but it didn't last. There are some rolling hills on 5300S and I handled them fine although in the end my butt started to get tired. At the end I was mostly conscious of the pain in my butt and of a general nausea. I didn't bonk at all, I felt as I had no problem finishing with a 6 minute mile even though my legs were getting weak and I was nauseous. The nausia is probably due to the extended period of ab flexing, i don't know what to do about that. And as for the weakness, I guess my mileage hasn't been high enough, I haven't done enough longer faster runs.

Good progress. Do not worry too much about slowing down at the end. After about a year of high mileage with frequent long runs you will eventually overcome it. And there will be ups and downs.
