AM 46:09 Ran thru the neighborhood across the street. I over dressed a little, but felt pretty decent. I did 40 push-ups, some core, and legs exercises after my run. Avg. 7:13 per mile. I had a thought today about how to specify my training mileage(i.e. easy, VO2, etc.) and decided I am no longer going to log 'Marathon pace' miles. Even though I have run marathons, I don't believe that I have the strength or endurance to put in a truly solid performance. I tend to crash towards the end, and therefore have never really been prepared to keep a consistent pace, therefore how can I have a marathon pace? Also, I am not currently training for a marathon, so it makes sense to nix this category. When I start training for another marathon, then I will decide what pace I want to have during the race, and will log those as my 'Marathon pace' miles. Overall, my current training for the SLC half has been a breakthru for me. I'm learning a lot, and am having some of the most enjoyable and fullfilling runs I have ever had! |
