Distance:

5.01 mi

Time:

41:34

Avg Pace:

8:18 min/mi

Elevation Gain:

279 ft

5.01 miles done at 8:18/mile and given the 279 feet of elevation can be considered a Tempo run (8:09/mile for five miles).  Tough workout.  Was going for 8:30-9:30 Easy miles.

Same run as yesterday and this time the 5 miles was done @ 8:06/mile versus the 8:18/mile pace yesterday.  Clearly a tempo run and more so the case given the elevation.  Hard to believe that this past weekend I did a 5K race at 8:00/mile pace and here I put these hilly 5 miles together at 8:06/mile pace!  Fact of the matter is I believe I am more skilled at running longer distances.  I have to work my way into a run and with the 5K…there really is no time to find or ease into your race pace…just got to get there and stay there!

Did the same 5 mile run as the past two days in a row.  This time, did it at Easy 8:48/mile pace.  Tues and Wed were Tempo runs. 

I am considering running the Woodlands Marathon in Texas on 3/2/13.  20 Weeks until that date.

Long Tempo run would be 80 minutes @ MP.  I got these 9 miles done in 77 minutes @ 8:31/mile which is 4 seconds faster than MP.  Safe to say another tempo run and Quality workbout accomplished today!

So far, three Quality workouts this week – all Tempo runs.  If I get the six miler in tomorrow at Easy Pace, then The 30 mile goal for week one is reached along with the three necessary quality workbouts.  

That would be Week 1 of 20 week training schedule if in fact the 3/2/13 Woodlands, TX Marathon is a go.  I am still undecided on that.

Of note, the aim was simply to keep all splits in the 8:30s range.  All splits 8:30s range or better (there was an 8:26, 8:28 and 8:18 with the last split, Mile 9, being put together @ 8:18/mile pace).  High consistency throughout the nine miles…and this is of high importance.
