43F, N 12 mph. 6:54 AP. Feeling good today (I'm in a constant tapered state). The plan was an 8+8 to see where I was at. The 8 ez miles outbound were fairly quick and coming back I went way faster than the 6:40 target. The last 8 miles:
8 @ 6:26 AP (6:37, 6:32, 6:30, 6:30, 6:26, 6:21, 6:20, 6:10).
Mostly aerobic the whole time, except toward the end. This tells me I've still kinda hung on to a decent threshold speed/fitness. What I need now is longer runs @ 6:40. On this lower mileage, the gap between what I can do on a training run and what I'll be able to do in a full marathon is going to be a lot wider. So if I can complete some longer tempos @ 6:40, then run ~6:45 for the first 17 at Boston (as opposed to the 6:35 I did last year), I think I'll have enough gas left to tackle Newton hills and finish strong, despite the lack of endurance. Theories are fun.
