Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

6:00AM- Mid 40's and damp outside. It was a bit lighter today so I turned around and threw my headlamp in the car. I wanted a bit more hills today, so I met up with Andy on Davis Blvd rather than LPT. 

We started meeting on Davis when the snow covered LPT, late last year. The course has rolling hills which is nice, but not so much for speed. When we first started, our AP was just over 7:00 and I always felt wiped out afterwards. We've progressively improved our AP over the months, usually hitting just under 8:00 without too much of a toll. Today we naturally started a little faster and pushed it up the steeper hill at mile 4, but with effort.  We've learned to just stop talking once we get to that point. We seemed to push the pace on the way back into a tempo effort. Nothing too spectacular, but I am quiet pleased with the AP (7:37). With the exception of the first mile, all the rest were in the 7's, a first for us. Yippee.

I can't believe how hard 7:45 pace felt. I was even in the mood for a harder run this morning. That lasted until 4 steps into the run.

I think it has everything to do with what you did last week. Since last week was an easier mileage week for me, I felt more fresh. There are definitely some mornings where 8:03 pace is difficult up there. Like I said, we have come a long way on that route!

7:45 pace is nothing to sniff at a couple days after a 20 mile run in the wind, Andy. Nice Tuesday effort!

What Kam said.

Anyone want to go long again this Saturday, same route, hopefully no wind?

A Saturday run sounds good.

How much do you want to go Andy? I wouldn't be opposed to running on BST for part of it. Good old LPT works too. What are your thoughts? 7:00 start?
