Plan called for 6 easy, easy is defined as 1 to 2 min slower than MP ... So I am using between 8 & 9 min miles, depending on how I feel. 'Easy' is the defined pace for 3 of the 6 runs each week, Wednesdays off sandwiched between speed work Tuesday & tempo run Thursday. Sunday is long day, although it only has me at 8 now & gradually works up to 16, which I will do 3 times. Centered on 'cumulative effect' training, the idea is your 16 mile run is simulating the last 16 miles of the marathon, not the first 16.

Interesting theory, & they have a lot of proven athletes that have excelled under this philosophy. Ok ... 2 more easy days, then I have to mentally prepare for the track Tuesday ... 12 x 400 with 400 recoveries.

8:33, 8:02, 7:58, 7:38, 8:09, 20 minutes soccer, 1.5 cool down @ 9:00

Legs felt good, so I let it go a little on Mile 4 & felt very comfortable. Slowed it back down to stay in my targeted range.
