Nutrition:

  • 2 BLOKS (before run)

Observations:

  • Chose to run outside instead of doing the treadmill to start seeing if I could hold a steady pace
  • I knew that the first mile was too fast, but was unclear how much
  • I tried to adjust on mile 2
  • Mile 3, 5, and 6 were the closest to my targeted goal
  • Will try to match that feeling next time

Pace: 9:58 (easy fast)

Conditions:

  • 58°
  • 78% humidity

Nutrition:

  • 2 BLOKS (before run)
  • 2 BLOKS (during run)
  • 1 ounce of Gatorade every 2 miles (inadequate - very thirsty at mile 15)

Observations:

  • Today, I wanted to get a baseline on how my marathon training is coming along. The guide that I am following says that I should run 16 miles no slower than 2 hours 40 minutes. I finished at 2 hours 39 minutes.
  • I am at the slow end of that goal, but am very plesed with my finish time. I had a good push for my final mile - 9:28.
