Ran 21.51 miles on my day off from my 32 hour straight work hours. Didn't plan to run long. But I was prepared I brought one gel and water. It was hot I started at 9am after 9 hours of sleep from my all night marathon hours worked.

Ran out to Bannock Rd. turned on Philbin Rd. than ran all the way out to Tyhee rd. Then turned back on Hawethorne Rd.. Most of the course was flat and it heated up to over 70 degrees.

Did the last two miles at 6:59 and 6:42.

That's a long run after a REALLY LONG work day(s)!

Ya I felt ok. Still tired and need to catch up on my sleep. Sometimes the IT system work is not fun when things go wrong.

Really trying to figure out a training schedule for speed work for marathon that I might run in a couple months. I have the endurance. Don't know what speed drills to do yet. Any advice? I thought cutting my mileage a bit for fresher legs with more intensity.

Everyone is a little different in what type "speed" training incorporated into marathon training works best for them. Obviously the marathon is 99+% aerobic, so continuing to focus on the endurance work should always be the primary thing. Maybe just incorporating some faster fartlek-type efforts once every week or so into the routine would be good. 1-2 minutes fast, then equal recovery, build up how many you can do.

Jake - There's a drill I used to do before my accident. About three minutes of accelerations (fartleks) then recovery. Also accelerate between telephone poles (beside tempo runs of 4 - 5 miles). It's so frustrating to know I used to do tempos between 5:30 to 5:45 almost two years ago. But I know that I've work so hard to recover and God's blessed me.

Thanks Jake for your advice.

You've worked so hard to recover - don't compare to the old workouts. You are doing great with the comeback and its very inspiring.
