Hello everyone! I ran my 10 miles today. WooHoo! That's my first double digit run. I'm so excited. I ran it in 2:09. Not fast, but I finished it.
Runjr, wasn't it a great day to run? 30 degrees and no wind. And that snow was beautiful. Fortunately for us it fell Friday night and was mostly cleaned up. You had a great 8 miles, and a good pace. You're still faster and longer than me, but I think our goals are a little different. I really haven't thought about revising my goals for running. I've just gotten to one of them; as I've said before, to run for a couple of hours. I could run it faster, but that's, I'm sure that's why coach has me doing those hill repeats.
Yeah I'd like to weigh in with my 2 cents on the tempo run subject. I tend to agree with Chris that it's not the race pace for a tempo. It's all about a faster pace but certainly not killing yourself. It's interesting, coach has had me do 2 different kinds of tempo runs. Actually the same 'kind' of run, just different timing. On my hour runs, I'll run the middle 20 minutes at a faster, harder pace. In my 75 min runs he'll have me run the last 15 min. at a faster harder pace. I definitely prefer the faster pace in the middle of the run, although for a real race, I'd expect I'd want to run my fastest at the end.
Hey chuck, that was a great 13 miles. You blew me away time wise, same time for 3 more miles. LOL. Good for you!
Peg, nice to see you've solved you're log in problems.
I've got the day off tomorrow. Ahhh! Happy new year everyone, and good luck with your runs!
Kevin
