837E152 Christopher Martin's 5K

Sun, Dec 8, 2013 10:21 AM

I chilled out with the running during Oct and November.  Planning to pick it up in December and begin serious training in January.  During Oct, I ran three training runs and two races (Hartford Marathon and a Mystic Penguin 5K).  During Nov, again, only three training runs and two races then as well (Hot Coco 5K and MRR Thanksgiving Day 4.75 mile run).  Did a couple training runs in Dec so far and just ran Christopher Martin’s 5K in 24:39 @ 7:53/mile AP (3.13 miles per Garmin so Official may be slower pace).  This is 1:09 away from my best 5K time of 23:30.  It’s all good.  I am not in training mode right now.  To get this result off of these minimal miles is great.

Six great races this year!!! 

Colchester Half Marathon in February done at 8:19/mile AP and I beat an opponent for the first time that I have gone head to head with for sixteen races up to that point. This result on a course that is known as “A Beast of a Course” due to the significant elevation.

Cheshire Half Marathon in April and at 8:20/mile AP.  What makes this significant is that I did this well at Cheshire when the week before I finished a 31 mile race.

August 5K where I am two seconds away from a PR.

Another 5K the following week where I set a Personal Record by 28 seconds for the distance finishing it in 23:30 @ 7:35/mile AP.

September: The Gulf Beach Half Marathon where I get it done at 1:47:01 at 8:10/mile AP.  (7 seconds away from a PR). 

The October 12th Hartford Marathon done in 3:59.  Best for the distance is 3:54 at 8:56/mile AP.  Why significant when I am 5 minutes away from my best time – because I achieved this result off 5K training.  No long runs at all!! I averaged 13.5 miles a week for the sixteen weeks preceding this Marathon.  This is not training appropriate for the Marathon distance.  BUT – THE MINIMAL MILES AND HIGH INTENSITY WORKOUTS FROM THE SPEEDWORK CARRIES OVER TO THIS MARATHON DISTANCE AS IT DOES FOR THE GULF BEACH HALF MARATHON MENTIONED ABOVE!!  This is important information to consider for future training schedules.
