Another solid run. 8:41 average. Some nice observations I was daydreaming and was running 8:15. Usually when I zone out my pace gets slower. I wanted to run the last mile in 8:20 so I was resting a bit on mile 7. Resting at a 9 min mile pace. That is how I want those 9 min miles to feel. Overall a good run. Still significant doubts remain. 8 miles is a long way from 26 miles. I will have to keep running for more than 2 1/2 hours longer. 4 weeks until Philly half. Will try to get in some faster runs in the next couple of weeks. Will back off a little the week before. But since I am shooting for a time that will be taxing to get I will need an easy week after too. Don't want to take too much of a break. |
