Trying to actually run easy.

Jul 23
2008

Very nice weather this morning. 65′F outside, partly cloudy, and not too humid. Rain came in about an hour before my run.

I tried to run “easy” based on my 5k time. According to Vdot Calculator and Training Paces based on a 21:54 5k (using Daniels’ Running Formula, 2nd edition), that should be 9′18″ per mile. Today’s workout was 11.31 miles in 1:43:33 (9′10″ pace). Amazingly, 9′15″ was a bit of a challenge for most of the run.

  • Tempo run 8.04 miles in 65 minutes (8'06" pace) I run my tempo and intervals on the treadmill (especially as opposed to running in th dark during rush hour). It's not optimal for training I guess, but I'd rather run the treadmill than miss another tempo or interval week. Mile point - speed (pace) 1% incline 0 - 6.2......

I've been doing my long runs at......

  • Streak, Day 5: 2.81 miles in 27'01" #twit2fit Yesterday was a "tempo" day--a 1 mile tempo.  Maybe that's an interval.  Needless to say, I thought I could run a 7 minute mile, but I lost the pace at about 4/10 of a mile and struggled to keep a 7'20" mile. Coming off of that effort with a little......
