On the advice of Sasha I did 5 miles at an easy pace 2 warm up and then 3 as a cool down, and then 2 miles at marathon goal pace. I felt really good today, I felt like I could do 3 miles at the faster pace but decided not to push it. I had a hard time holding back on the slower miles, Sasha wanted me to do a 9:00 pace on those miles but I could not go that slow, I was able to do it on one of the miles but the rest where around 8:45. My splits went as follows; 8:45, 9:04, 7:28, 7:24, 8:45, 8:47, 8:44 total time was 59:00 with an average pace of 8:26. I am still figthing a calf strain and my right butt mustle feels like it has a nott in it like my calf so that hasn't been real fun. I also finished up with 45 minutes of upper and lower body weight training and core training.
I felt good today, thursday was really bad, but today It was a good day. I pray for more of these in the future, see ya on Monday. |
