16.0 miles in 2:04:24 7:47 minutes/mile pace So the goal today was to run 16 miles at 8:00/mile pace. I never push myself on these longer runs, so I figured that I should try and do at least a little better. I started at the base of Provo Canyon by the gas station and ran up to Vivian Park. Then I went up South Fork. Once I reached the 8 mile mark I turned and ran back down. I felt really good and the best thing is that I was able to finish strong. Below are the splits: 1-8:33 Lots of wind heading up.
2-7:42 3-7:57 4-8:36 Stop at water fountain
5-7:29 Right on track for 8:00 miles when I hit Vivian
6-8:12 uphill
7-8:07 upholl
8-7:43 9-8:53 Bathroom stop
10-6:42 Downhill and trying to back off so that I don't die at the end of the run
11-7:18 12-6:58 13-7:48 14-8:01 15-7:01 16-7:17 |
