10.31@8:45
I think this was a slightly better run than my last two long run attempts. Attempt #1 was supposed to be 13 miles@8:30 pace - I cut short that run by almost 2 miles due to some big toe pain, had a couple stops and effort was more like a tempo run vs a slightly challenging long run. The "average" pace was 8:33, but if stops were counted, the average pace was really 9:16
Attempt number two was 15 miles which I did do, but at a slower pace of just over 9 minute miles average and there were a couple stops.
Today's run was straight through. Goal was time based, broken up into 4 parts - 5 minute warm up, 50 minute easyish (8:19-9:19), then another 30 minutes at about the same pace, then 5 minute cool down.
When I hit the 30 minute portion, was locked into an 8:20ish pace.
So, the average elapsed pace (which was the same as average moving pace because I didn't stop at all) was way faster than the last two attempts.
Route was up and down Starkey Blvd with an extra out and back on Rangeland Blvd.
