Planned on 10 x 3 minutes at marathon goal place (in place of the rather ambitious 6 miles the Hanson brothers call for around week 3 or 4), but even that was too much with the humidity in the upper-80s. 1.6 mile warm up, got through 6 repeats but they felt hard. Walked a bit then 1.5 mile cool down. 7:31.6 average pace, which puts me at 3:17:30.
I did get a chance to run over portions of the 5k course that will be used this Saturday. I run through those streets often but not in that pattern. Should be good if the weather stays cool. The person who won it last year ran something like a 15:40. I had no idea the race was such an event and so competitive. Something like 700 runners.
