Started out this morning at marathon pace for the first 2.5, for me that is 7:30/mile I think... Hope to get that to about 7:00 to qualify for Boston. I ran St. George this year at 7:15 for the first 13, then calves cramped up due to lack of taining and finished with an overall pace of 8:15!
The next 3.1 on this morning's run was at 6:15/mile, which is actually faster than any 5K I've ran this year. Currently, fastest this year was about 20:00. But then again that was back in June and only a few months after starting to run again after about 6 years off!
So my question is, what is my real marathon pace? Should it be 7:00 now, or should I work down to that?
Also, what should I be running threshold at? VO2 max?
Easy miles are just what ever feels comfortable right?
Thanks for any help, my high school distance coach didn't teach me all this! | | Comments(2) |

Ran with Steve and Bill from running store. Ran washington feilds loop (12.25 mi) at about 6:50 overall pace. From running store down to virgin river trail then west to river road. Waited for Bill for a couple of minutes because his back was acting up on him. Crossed the bridge on river road and headed east in to washinton feilds past Summit. 1/2 mile before the bridge at Indian Oaks Steve started to kick it up a bit to probably sub 6 mile... I kept with him until about the other side of the bridge and then dropped back to about 7:30 and he kept going. Finished in 1:24, Steve in 1:23. Felt good to run with a group. Solo 5 mile run at 7:30 pace feels tough to me most days but running sub 7 miles for almost 13 did not seem as hard because I was running with someone else!
Going for 1:25 at painters half... Did Bryce in about 1:34 last summer. Split at St George in October was 1:35... | | Add Comment |

Ok, I felt like crap yesterday. Wasn't sure I'd be able to run at all today. Felt feverish, lightheaded, and had the shivers. This morning woke up at 7 and didn't feel all that great. Read all of your blogs for about 45 minutes and it gave me the motivation to at least try to run.
So I guess I should be proud of the fact that I got out there and did 5 miles, although it was a very slow run. I didn't even have the strength to run fast past Clydes house ;^)
Surprisingly, I actually didn't feel sick during my run. Although sitting here typing this I am starting to feel a little queasy again... |
