I’m pretty sure that I’ve never accomplished that before, even though I’ve run 60 miles in a week at least twice, and I’ve been running for almost 3 years now.
3.42 miles in 32’26″, for 9’30″/mile. I did some strides at the end of my run, so my actual pace for the run (first 3 miles) was about 9’40″, and my third mile was just below a 10 minute pace.
With the strides in the last 0.42 miles, I averaged just above an 8 minute pace, and had a small burst of 6’15″ speed.

Related Posts - 14.11 miles in 2:18:00 to Iroquois Park, up the hill, and back--good run even though slow. /caption] Today was a beautiful day. My parents watched the kids while I ran my long run from their house to Iroquois Park, around, up the hill... no time pressure. Limited traffic to deal with for that time of day too. (My usual long run follows Taylorsville Rd, Hurstbourne Pkwy,......
- 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......
- Guess my 20 miler time: I ran 6.29 miles in the first hour + highest mileage week in a year. This was not a set up for a good long run today: I had a mid-back spasm in the first mile of my 5-miler yesterday morning that was still bothering me this morning. [Managed to fight for a 9'22" pace yesterday] The first hour of the run didn't break 9:30......
- 8 miles -- 6 mile tempo in 43:05 (finish @ sub 7 pace) #running #twit2fit Progressive tempo, 6 miles. Started at 7:24 pace, finished at 6:58 pace, with a 6:28 pace kick the last 0.2 miles of the tempo. Didn't feel good going into the run (sinus infection, headache). Don't try this at home, kids. Only an insane man would do a hard workout when......
- Never been so disappointed in a sub-3 hour 20 mile long run #running #twit2fit I tried to repeat the workout that I pulled off last week--5-4-3-2-1 @ MP on a long run. Last week, that run made me feel that I had a shot at 3:20 for a marathon. This week, my run made me feel I would struggle to hit my PR. While......
- Negative splits on my 18 miler (streak day 92) #twit2fit Last week, I ran a 16 miler in which I never got my legs under me. My expected easy/long run pace is roughly 9:30 per mile, but I'm okay with 10 minute miles given the warmer weather. My result was a 10:19 pace for 16 miles, with the last few......
