I ran 15.28 yesterday instead of 20 miles.  Today I ran 15.01 miles @9:48/mile in 2:27:01.  Route: Canal Trail from Bruegger’s to New Haven, Hillhouse Avenue (5 miles) and back (5 miles). Then 2.5 miles in other direction and back. 

Today the goal was to do ten minute miles. 

The fastest split is Mile 15 at 8:55/mile.  I run this faster on purpose to show I have something in the tank.  Did not have an 8:15/mile in the tank today though.

Got 30 miles done this weekend and 48 miles done for the week. 

Every month there is a week of down time.  That is next week and 36 miles scheduled for that week. 

139 Miles for the year as of 1/20/13.

6.35 miles at 9:28/mile in 1:00:08 with some elevation.  I am able to get through these miles easily enough.  It was 24 degrees. 

I was running Easy miles and basically going for recovery pace miles (9:39-10:23/mile) and trying for 10:00/miles but ran a bit faster than that. 

There is an art to running at a slower pace.  I find myself picking up the pace without realizing it.  Do not do this during the longer runs!

5.6 miles @ 9:27/mile in 52:56.  Cold!  Windy!  But hey, I want to avoid the TM and this is the price which must be paid.  I am continuing to be consistent with my training by running 5 days weekly, running the scheduled miles, and getting in the Longs.  This is a good five week streak here so far!

705E020 Colchester Half Marathon Route

Sat, Jan 26, 2013 12:34 PM

Distance:

13.16 mi

Time:

1:58:38

Avg Pace:

Elevation Gain:

I ran the Colchester Half Marathon course as a training run today.  The goal was to get the 13.1 miles done @ 9:00/mile pace.  I ran 13.16 miles @ 9:01/mile pace in 1:58:38.  It is safe to say the goal was accomplished.   948 Feet of elevation for the route…but it may be about 700 feet of elevation…not sure.  At any rate, with the hills, it takes a particular type of running/pacing to get the goal pace met. 

I ran with Theo and Steve.  They quickly got ahead of me.  Rick met me at about mile 5 or six maybe and he finished the run with me.  Michael (I think that is his name) also met up with us and he finished some of the miles with Rick and I. 

Good workout. 

NOTE and OBSERVATION OF 1/29/13:  As I analyze my Colchester Half Marathon training run on Saturday and compare the times to those of Theo and Steve, I notice they ran the first 8 miles 9:54 faster than me.  BUT, they run the last 5 miles 2:14 faster than me.  The number of seconds they run faster than me for each mile are 53-89-89-77-66-51-83-86-34-3-24-41-32.  I did very well on the tail end of that run.
