Started at about 7:00 at the base of the Provo Canyon and
ran up 8 miles and back down.Weather
was ok, but it needs to get warmer.I
didn’t care how long it took me to get up the canyon as I was only focused on
trying to hit MP on the way down (I was looking for the downhill to help me
keep the pace up).Hit the 8 mile mark
at 1:11:17, and then turned around.Splits for the next 8 were:
9
7:00
10
6:39
11
6:43
12
6:54
13
6:48
14
8:44
water break
15
7:13
16
7:37
water break
Felt good about things.Obviously the downhill helped with the pace.About mile 12 my legs got heavy.I still think the marathon is affecting
them.More than anything, the faster
miles helped me feel better about being able to sustain a 7:15 marathon pace.
Early afternoon: 4.13 on the TM after lifting for an hour.
