Ran a half-marathon inside today at MAFC. That wasn't the plan when I left; I'd intended to do 5 or 6. But the legs felt pretty good, and I wasn't puring out the sweat TOO badly, so at first I planned to stretch it out just a little over 10 miles, to get to 60 for the week. Then by the 6-mile mark I was cruising along well and decided to do a full 13.1, which is 174 laps. I ran the first 87 laps in 59 minutes and change and the last 87 in about 57 minutes. Overall average was 8:54. Considering the first mile took 9:36, that's a pretty good progression.
I still haven't done the long runs like I probably need for this cycle with 11 weeks to go. But today's a start, anyway, a two-hour run and a 62.87-mile week. |
