First double digit run since the marathon!

8:24 avg pace, around Central Park (hilly) with 2 laps of the bridle path (flat)

Felt great. Wore superfeet with Mizunos; blisters are fine. No shin pain.

Easy miles, at 8:24 avg pace, a slight break in the heat, but about 1000% humidity. 

Cannot get enough of the Pure Cadence. I feel like a natural midfoot striker in them!

Shin 99.9% not there; felt a slight twinge running on a cambered part of the path.

I was going to stick to a conservative mileage plan for this marathon (beginning at 30 miles and peaking at 55 miles), but Im feeling really good, and might add an additional run to make it 5 runs per week. So maybe starting at 40 and peaking at something more like 60-65.

For NJ I was doing 5 runs, beginning at 40 miles and peaking at around 55, plus 2 hard workouts per week. Advanced Marathoning - unlike Hansons which I was doing before -  incorporates tempos into the long runs, and generally spreads the workouts further apart to give room for long runs. I think with my workouts spread out further apart I can probably handle a little more mileage (work-willing).

Easy miles around 8:30 pace, with 8x100m strides/sprints at <5k pace.

Tried to focus on being relaxed, not overstriding. Mostly focused on how much I needed to go to the bathroom. Ah, running. Such a fickle mistress.

Easy miles, around 8:15 pace. Gunna have to drop this "easy pace" lower once I start doing more tempo runs. Though it was nice and cool today finally, so running felt eeeeasy.

Doing a short recovery run on Saturday, which will make 40 miles for the week. YAAAAY! Highest mileage since the marathon, and its feeling way easier than when I got up to this mileage the first time around. I think I should be able to average 50+ for this cycle pretty easily.

Easy miles - except not quite that easy. Im in Australia, and being back in 50 degree weather, my legs went faast! Avg 7:45 pace. I think I need to make sure my easy pace slows down; felt a pull in my groin area. Tight hip flexors from the flight, obviously.
