The first 4 marathon pace felt very easy, splits only varied slightly due to the second mile being slightly downhill. Effort was even. The second set was harder since the 41 and 42 were slightly uphill and into the wind. By the third set I was super sweaty and my legs were turning to crap. I should have gotten a drink of water sometime during the run but I forgot about the water bottle we dropped. You can see I slowed down on the seconf mile. The thing to learn here is to take it slightly easier during the firstfour mile segment. Keep in mind, however, that this was the fastest 4321 workout I've done and I did a decent job of keeping the effort in control. I would love to run a marathon at 5:36 pace the whole way. only time will tell. My legs are pretty dang tired now though.
PM: 1 hour pool run
