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!
