19 miles in 2:10.15. Started with 2 fairly easy (14:35) then ran 15 at ~MP in 1:40.40 (6:42.5 ave.) and the last 2 easy (15:00). The MP section consisted of miles in 6:42, 6:48, 6:48, 6:46, 6:48, 6:45, 6:41, 6:46, 6:47, 6:42, 6:42, 6:40, 6:36, 6:40, 6:39 & 6:37. (Those last two were on the track, 3200 in 13:12, and I added a four seconds to give a full 2 miles.) Felt strong today although I was fading just a bit at the end. But I had run 73 miles in the previous 6 days whereas prior to a marathon I'll run less than half as much -- it sure helps to remind myself of this fact! |
