S5H.

T=45-56 degrees. Great temperature to run.

Progressive long run. Started slowly. Body felt very sluggish. Started feeling better at around mile 10th --> Pick up the pace. Ran at controlled hard/threshold pace with Jeff and Angel in the last 4 miles (Jeff thinks it's about 7:15"-7:20" pace).

Best finish of any long runs over 20 miles. Was running fast the last 4 miles with supprisingly less effort. Everything seems so smooth! Could have run at that pace for another 2 miles.

Total average about 8:30-8:40" pace.

Great training run. Hydrated well on Friday. Drank 32 oz. of gatorade before the run. Also took 4 Gu during the run.

Awesome Tam,

My long run last week I only ran 18 miles but by the end all I could do was a mile at just better than an 8 minute pace.

You got 4 miles at 7:15. That rocks. Keep up the good work Tam.

I have a 19 mile run planned tomorrow. I want to keep it average 8:00 pace. We will just have to see how it goes.

I meant to say 4 miles out of 20 miles at 7:15 pace, Yeah, that rocks
