I wasn't sure how to classify these miles. They weren't easy, but they weren't really good enough for the other categories. So I put them down as (11.25) easy miles. I was doing a youth activity with my church ward all day, so I started my run at 10:30 and ran as far as I could until midnight on the treadmill. It wasn't as far as I had planned to go, so I pushed the pace a bit. The first 6 miles were about 7:40 average pace. The last 5 miles (other than short cooldown) were about 7:00 pace. It was a good pace, but I don't want to get excited, because I haven't yet been able to run this type of run outside. So I hope to get to that point. This was a 53 mile week. It was intentionally a lower mileage week. Next week I plan to ramp up the mileage and see if I can do more than last week. |
