917F071 Canal Trail

Maybe I should get back to the Canal Trail for the longer runs that are soon to be coming.  Got 6.83 miles done at 9:27 AP in 1:04. A progressive run with the splits being around 10, 9:50, 9:40, 9:30, 9:20, 9:10, 9:00.

The plan was to do 13 and end the progression run at 8:00/mile for the last mile split.  Ah...again..did not stick to the 13.  Taking a while here getting the miles up.  A work in progress.

Third solid week of running and have not missed any scheduled runs.  Had to cut them short though - some of them - due not being fit enough to carry them off.  Am monitoring closely what I am accomplishing and making sure I am staying on track with the training regime.  Not lazy here - just working on getting fitter.

Another run in the 8:40s range.  Tomorrow ends the 6th week of an 18 week training program for the NYM.  I am doing pretty well with the program given that prior to the program start, only 283 miles for the year.  I have picked up the mileage, the paces, and gotten better with the intervals and tempo runs.  Figuring I can now put together the prescribed workouts for week 7 through 18 (types of runs and at correct paces for prescribed distances).

The plan was to put together a 15 miler at 9:15 AP.  Well got 11 done on pace and then took a 28 minute break and then did 3 miles at 9:53 AP.  Total miles 14.  So I cut the 15 miler short by 4 miles.  Maybe the two workouts yesterday and the day before at 8:43 mile AP (faster than I have been running of late) made today difficult.  It’s all good.  I ran 24 miles this past three days and that in and of itself is a pretty big deal.  Just working on getting my fitness back these past six weeks.  I am feeling good about the workouts I have done these past six weeks!!
