I feel like such a slacker -- only 8 miles the last two days, and only 60 this week. Only 60. Yikes. Four miles from Murray Park over BDB this morning. Last dose of hill training before Hogeye, I guess, courtesy of Hobbit. Ran it faster than I probably should; well under 9:00 pace. But legs felt good, and as usual I picked up the pace going uphill and never backed off. Going back, I think, to the same strategy I used at Soaring Wings -- lay down as many miles at my desired pace as I can, and see what I have left for the last three miles. In this case, that will be 7:15, which would get me a 1:35 if I maintain it. If I can pick ip up through the last three miles, even better, but I have to be aware of how I feel through the earlier miles. If a 7:15 feels too easy, push it. |
