ran 7 tonight overall time / finish pace was at marathon pace or little faster, first mile I did not check watch but it is uphill and I went ez so probably 8:20-20 range so last 6 miles were probably 7:00 or sub 7:00 averaged 7:14's for the 7 mile run... foot slighly better stretching & icing like crazy wearing the boot and all that good stuff. I wanted to go out & push it a little tonight as I am taking tomorrow off plus deep tissue massage # 2 tomorrow OWWWW!!! but a good ow : ) Sunday I may run 10 for my last / semi long run then probably same or slightly less mileage next week and a little less the following week. Twoo weeks out from my marathon so tonight was the last / long hard effort I will do.. I hope the under trained over rested theory comes in to play for me running a good marathon, I really hated missing a whole week, I planned on getting in one last 20 mile run last weekend but it is too lat now... Although I have done 3-4 20-22 mile runs with the most recent being 6 weeks out from my marathon and I was able to pick it up the last 6-7 miles on that run.... so there may be hope for a BQ time : ) |
