17 mile long run with Scott. Beautiful day outside.About 45-50 sunny with a slight breeze. started in the 7:00s but quickly went into the 6:40s, then 6:30s, a few 6:20s, etc. Scott was going to do the last 4 miles at his goal marathon pace. I said I would try to go with him but I knew I wouldn't make it. I ran one mile at 6:10 and backed off. Is seriously hit the wall. Ouch. it sucked. I am sore as shit right now. I almost feel a little like how I did after the marathon. Everything hurts a little. today revealed that I still need to work on my base endurance. So instead of trying to nail 16-18 milers in 6:30s, I should run a few 20 milers at 7:00 pace. I know that goes a bit against the Hanson's methods but I know that's what I need after not exceeding 12 miles in a run all last summer and fall. 7:07, 7:04, 6:52, 6:43, 6:49, 6:40, 6:49, 6:39, 6:50, 6:35, 6:30, 6:25, 6:27, 6:10, 6:48, 7:00, 7:41 |
