Good hard 7 on the TM, mostly at 8:34 pace, with nine strides at the end. Finished in 59:01. I've had some 59-minute runs that were about five miles, not seven. I'm starting to think that's the way to go for May -- not do too much with the mileage, maybe top out at 80 mpw but with a higher mpw average, but push the pace more. Get to where sub-8:00 is more routine. Then routine it for about 3:25 in Newport or wherever (I need to pin that down pretty soon). |
