Total Distance
22.00

22 mile run today. Avg pace of 9:15 per mile. The first 11-14 miles my AVG HR was probably 145 and my pace was exactly 9:00 per mile. The last 6-8 miles were not as kind. I did pick up the tempo at mile 16-19 and a good portion of that was uphill. After that my HR stayed very high 165-175 range for the last couple miles which were not fast miles maybe 10:00. I was pretty tired the last two. Maybe beacuase I did not eat anything before the run and it really warmed up when i was out there. Also I ran 8 Miles at 7:00 P.M. the night before then Ran the 22 mile run at 9:00 A.M. ?? My twenty mile run three weeks ago did not seem nearly as brutal and it seemed I had more left in the tank at the end of that run.. OK No more whining....I plan on trying to get in two more 22-25 mile runs prior to Marathon on 10/15....

Zach - I think 22 miles is a bit too long for you right now, especially on a high-mileage week. Definitely if you crash on the last two miles. You should probably stick to no more than 16 miles for your long run, but make 8-10 of it in the middle fast, go your target marathon race pace, or maybe even a bit faster. You can still run a good marathon without ever going over 16 at once.
