early am runs by myself. ryan needed the day off. After studying our runs from the past few weeks, I wanted to concentrate on even splits. This way maybe I could stay away from the 10 and 11 minute per mile paces. Since I'm still 21 pounds above my target running weight and in the building phase I picked 9:09 mpm (4 hour marathon pace). this is also 3/4 a 3 hour marathon pace. I ran two legs this morning; an 11 mile and a 4.25 leg.
9:07, 9:06, 9:09, 9:08, 9:07, 9:08, 9:09, 9:07, 9:58, 10:00, 10:15 for an overall 1:43:21
I went home and had breakfast (2cups of strawberries, 3 pancakes with sugar free syrup, a bagel with light cream cheese and a cup of coffee, 16 oz water), got the kids ready for school and then went out for the second leg
8:40, 8:54, 8:45, 9:03, 2:19 (for 0.25 miles) for an overall 37:43 |
