Nice morning today (60, light wind). Today I planned to do a 10 mile MP pace run. I planned to do 5 miles easy then the MP run. My knee is still feeling pretty good. It did bother me a little in the first couple of mile but after that felt fine. I felt good starting out today and wanted to run the MP miles around 7:20 pace. Here are the splits for my MP miles: 1st - 7:27 2nd - 7:00 (ran the first too slow picked it up too much) 3rd - 7:15 (finally settled into right pace) 4th - 7:17 5th - 7:14 (into headwind) 6th - 7:19 7th - 7:16 (started feeling the effort here) 8th - 7:06 9th - 7:20 10th - 7:10 (wanted to finish strong) Avg - 7:14 I was pretty happy with the MP run. The times were on target but seemed like it required more effort than it should have. I don't really think I could hold this pace for a marathon right now. I was really starting to feel the effort the last 3 or 4 miles and I had to push it to the finish. I am going to do a couple of more of these before the marathon so I will see how it goes and make adjustments on pace as necessary. Still a pretty good workout for me. 2:00:58 (7:34 avg) |
