This is one of my best 20 mile training runs ever. I have run a couple times a little faster but never with my HR this low. I feel like I'm way ahead of my training compared to where I've been in the past. The RLRF training has this early 20 mile run at about an 8:00 pace to end up with a marathon goal of 3:10. I'm not expecting that but feel more confident in a 3:16 than ever before!

Hebrews 10:35-36

Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

I don't remember if I've ever done this workout before so maybe I just made it up today. :-)

2 @ 8:00 Pace (slow marathon) then 1 @ 6:30 Pace (slow 5k) and Repeat this 3X.

Note: Had to stop after each 2 miles to reset my watch and get a drink.

I think I did pretty good ignoring the hills and running by pace only. Couldn't quite get to the 6:30 on the fast miles (That part of the workout was hard!).
