afternoon - 14 down 2450, onto Riverside, into fields, Staheli Farm, into Washington, and drop down at the DI and finish with part of the 800 loop. First time I have run this, so now I need a name for it - PVHS/Fields run, I guess. Run went amazingly! I felt great. Pace was consistent at 6:45, even when I tried to keep it under control, so that I wasn't going too fast. Things were just smooth and even. I would like to hope it is just another stage in my progression of running - not a passing fad - that 6:45 seems so easy now. Finished the run with what I am going to call a Tinman Finish. Based upon what I have read from Paul and Tinman research, a Tinman Tempo is a controlled Tempo pace. So my Tinman Finish is at the end of all long runs, put into the next gear and have a strong controlled pace to finish - the goal, to continue to improve my finish for races. So today, last three were 6:14, 6:04, 5:58. (Precision 25.15) Shoes felt good for their first longer run. 14 is probably the most I will ever take them, however. There isn't as much forefoot cushion and I noticed it once or twice, but I was running so well I didn't care. |
