I ran an extended Lindon loop this morning, going into P.G. a ways and adding a loop at the end, making it 8 miles instead of just over 6. I ran it in 1:05:50 (8:13/mi). My splits were 9:24, 7:57, 8:07, 7:28, 8:30, 8:41, 7:43, and 7:57. I maintained a pretty steady effort. The faster splits were downhill miles, the slower ones uphill. I didn't feel like I had a lot of energy this morning but tried to maintain my effort level anyway. Whenever I felt myself dragging a little I would accelerate for 5 to 10 seconds then drop back a little and try to maintain a slightly faster pace than I had been. It seemed to help. |
