This was my trial run for the Ogden Marathon. And I kept it slow, which seemed even harder. The pace/stride just didn't feel right. Any how...I averaged around an 8:17 mile. Did not feel good what so ever towards the end and really struggled. It could of been dehydration, uncomfortable stride, but most likely it was due to lack of training with long runs. By mile 16 I totally scappred the idea of doing Ogden. So I'll chalk up this run as my first long training run for the Des News Marathon. |
