7.70 miles at 8:26/mile (Marathon pace miles).  Saint Barnabas route.

Tremendous head wind the back portion.  I am actually surprised I put together the MP miles.  Going into mile four there was elevation and I was focused on turnover and breathing…not pushing too hard.  I actually put that mile together at 8:11/mile!  The elevation gain for split 4 is id as 14 feet…this is off.  Actually more elevation than that…probably about 50 feet of so. 

So an “A” workout.

Tuesday 4/17/12 at 6:23pm: 3.11 miles at 8:55/mile (MP + 30 seconds) in 27:47

Legion Field

Went for a 9:30, 9:00 and 8:30 mile and did a 9:26, 8:53 and 8:29 mile.

 

I am considering a ten mile progressive run for Saturday (9:00, 8:50, 8:40, 8:30, 8:20, 8:10, 8:00, 7:50, 7:40, 7:30).

The faster miles in the progressive run mimic the later miles of the marathon (more difficult to put together marathon pace miles at the tail end of the marathon).  Putting together an 8:25/mile at mile 23 might feel like running a 7:25/mile.  Or put another way, running a 9:25/mile at mile 23 might feel like running an 8:25/mile. 

 

Cheshire Half Marathon as a Training Run (week before Marathon)

Run it at Marathon Pace (8:25/mile).  Most people would say this would be okay.

Run it at Half Marathon Pace (7:55 mile).  Most people would say not a good idea as may compromise Marathon following week.

But 7:55s are awesome!!!

So guess what I say!

I ran from hotel to Pier 9, then to Red Parrot restaurant, and then to the mansions and back to hotel.

Garmin has the race done in 1:49:28 with distance being 13.28 miles at 8:14/mile.  I ran faster pace than that though because I forgot to turn the watch off while going through the finish line and beyond…probably walked 30 seconds before shutting off and thus the last 0.28 miles calculated at 9:32 where all preceding splits in the 8s and 7s. 

Was going for 8s…A fair calculation would be to take the 13 miles and average the pace and that would be the pace of the half marathon. 

Official time has pace being 8:19/mile and done in 1:48:56.  Will go with official time because although it may be off and I ran it faster…the same holds true for all the participants…all the times are off. 

Cheshire Half Marathon at 8:30am:

Distance:          13.28 mi

Time:    1:49:28

Avg Pace:         8:14 min/mi

Elevation Gain: 303 ft

Calories:           1,779 C

Was going for 8 minute miles and put them together at 8:14/mile.  Oh well...okay I guess.  I forgot to turn the watch off after the race and there was about thirty seconds of walking after crossing the finish line...figure about 8:10-8:12/mile.  No matter.  The Race report which is not official yet states 8:19/mile.  Although Official report may report 8:19 mile and may be inaccurate, will go with Official report as it will be inaccurate for all participants.  And the course was a little long which also factors into discrepancy in Garmin and Race Report times (I ran 13.28 miles versus 13.1 miles which is Half Marathon distance).  Or maybe I just did not handle the tangents well.  At any rate, good race, decent result. 

 

Marathon scheduled for next week. Have been somewhat slacking on running...and learning about upper body training. Medicine balls are awesome...who knew? Probably a lot of people but not me.
