Scheduled: 18 miles @ MP + 30 seconds.

At 7:07am: Ran with Marc A on Canal Trail.

18 miles done in 2:42:39 at 9:02/mile pace (MP + 27 seconds).

I hit the splits at correct pace with high consistency.  I typically do not consume gels or fluid on training runs.  Did an Out and Back route.  Today I took Power Gel going into mile ten. Began drinking Gatorade at mile ten forward also.  This is why the mile ten split is 9:20/mile.  

Figured I would see what I could put together for mile 18 split.  Decided to go for a Marathon Pace mile.  Got the 8:35/mile I was looking for.  Attempted to mimic to a degree what I would want to be doing during an actual race…pick up the pace a bit (or surge).   

Pay no attention to Mile 19 split...1.6 seconds (I guess to turn the watch off.)

MILESTONE: High Consistency throughout 18 Miles.  

Next Goal: Do same for 20 Miles.

Grade for workout: “A” of course!

You're starting to make it look too easy PRE.

PRE,

I saw on allie's blog that you're looking for strength training info. Assuming you aren't joking, I picked up this book last year and have learned lots from it. You seem to enjoy books like me :>
