AM: Marathon pace progression run. ran an average of 5:30 for the last seven and it didn't feel too difficult. My percieved effort was right at marathon pace. It is a net downhill at the end so some of the splits are a little faster than actual marathon pace would be on a level ground. Still, I think I will be able to handle 5:30-5:35 by the time Philly rolls around. Note: it's a stark contrast to how hard it felt in that half marathon last week but if I can keep running in the 5:20s for my marathon pace during workouts and feel just fine, I'm going to do it.
