Scheduled:

18 Miles @ MP + 30 seconds

I ran the Canal Trail @ 9:50am with Marc A. today.  Put together 16.48 miles @ MP + 33 seconds (9:08/mile) in 2:30:30.

I will consider this an “A” workout.  It was about 1.5 miles short of the 18 miles.  3 seconds off target per mile. 

How can it have an “A” rating?  Well; I have not run this long for quite some time.  And the later miles were at 9:05/mile goal. AND: the splits were consistent!

Of primary importance for me: putting in the Long runs with consistent splits for the run duration – especially all the miles after Mile 13.  

If I can maintain goal pace through Mile 20 on the training runs, I believe I can maintain goal pace for the Marathon (or if I do decompensate, it will not be mile 14 or 15 forward as in the past…it will be post mile 20!

nice job, PRE. "A" for sure! very consistent and excellent overall pace. i definitely think you've made a jump to the next level of fitness.

I concur with your 'A' assessment on this workout. You've got great endurance.

Have a fantastic week!

Allie and ACorn,

Hi.

Thanks for the comments. Now I am in a bit of withdrawal. I am really looking forward to knocking out an 18-20 miler really soon. Just have to see if I can string together even splits over that distance.

Nice job Kearny ol' boy.
