3 in the middle at 8:42 pace. The rest was pretty slow. Some thoughts of the run. 1. One marathon I am considering running is in 11 weeks. Given where I am I don't know if that is doable. 2. Sundays run was too hard. Still feeling tired and flat today. Need to get strong runs in during the week. Every other day is ok, but not once a week. 3. I read a study that said for mid pack runners it is more reasonable to add almost a min per mile to your half marathon time than to use the pace predictors. Results were based on a bunch of runners who did halfs then fulls 6-8 weeks apart. So I should run 8:10 pace for half? 1:47. Seems like a reasonable goal. But not there today. 4. I have been running more and cross training less. Probably should do more core work, stretching, and weights. But where will the time come from. 5. Since I have been at the gym less I haven't been in the hot tub. Is it wrong to go to the gym just for the hot tub? |
