76F, S 15-24 mph.  We skipped Insanity last night so this was my first run in awhile without completely dead legs.  I figured I'd try a fast finish and do the last 4 miles tempo.  In cool weather I'd want 6:50-6:55/mile so I figured I'd be happy to keep the pace below 7:10 today.

First, 11 miles easy, 8:05 AP.

Then 4 fast, 6:56 AP (7:06, 6:59, 6:57, 6:41)

7:46 AP for all 15.

The effort level was probably a bit higher than a normal tempo run, but I was happy with the splits.  Probably would've keeled over if I had to do 1 more mile like that though.

Nice long run! You kept a nice pace in the heat! I firmly believe that despite the slower paces the heat forces, the training stimulus is still there and when it coos off you will be FLYING and strong!

Wow Joe ... you were flying those last 4 miles! Awesome run!

Great run Joe. I didn't have as a successful long run day.

April - that's what I'm hoping

Thanks JG

IJR - I'd call any 17-miler in the heat a success
