AM - 18 mile long run. Mostly along the Pacific Coast Highway. Average pace = 6:07/mile for the whole run. Finished with 3 AT miles (16:07). Felt great, but was smart enough to not stretch this out any further even though it would have been easy to tack on 4-5 more miles today. Got what I needed, and faster recovery is crucial because next week is going to take me way out of my comfort zone.
The route had three 200+ foot climbs, and I was moving quickly up them... that's the advantage of sea level.
PS - the fastest guy on this blog, Conner Mantz, won the 5000m indoor national championship yesterday (14:24)!
