10 miles @ sub 12 pace. No calf issues. My first long run solo minus iPod. Was supposed to do 12 but I have a nice blister on my left 4th toe that started @ mile 4 from my Nimbus 10's. TIme to go shoe shopping.
9.2 miles on a cloudy day here in VA at a nice comfortable pace. I got a little bit of rain near the end of the run, but by then it felt pretty good. This is the longest I've run since my half-marathon in April, and I was really happy that it went well.
3 miles at 8:50 pace plus lifting and pilates. I saw my personal strength and conditioning coach (e.g. my great friend, Bill who has a degree in sports science) and he said I needed to start lifting legs if I wanted to get faster. I told him I didn't have time and he made me agree to two days a week. Day 1 was today. Let's see how long I keep up with this one...
I do today what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't.
Ran 12.25 miles today at an 8:48 pace...1 hour 48 minutes. I actually walked 4 - 1 minutes breaks today. Figuered I would try it out and see if it helps. Feeling good so far. It was 78 degrees and very sunny...Nice day to run. Tommorrow will be a rest day or maybe a bike ride / walk.
Completed my first half marathon distance on Sunday and man I am a little soar! I completed it in 2:44 for a 12:32 avg pace! I took several walk breaks starting at mile 7. I can see that I need to work on a hydration plan and perhaps plan on taking in some food on my next long sunday run, which is supposed to be 15 miles. What do you guys do for food and water? I run with a 32oz fuel belt but that was gone around mile 10! Any advice would be great. Thanks
