I ran 10.01 miles at 9:29/mile in 1:34:55.

My “Easy miles range” is 8:31-9:32/mile so at the very easy range from pace perspective.  But there is some elevation on the course, so I would say maybe midpoint of Easy or even a harder Easy effort than that.  At any rate, a good run and pace given this is after the 14.5 mile run of yesterday. 

The second to last mile on this route is always tough – it is all uphill.  I am surprised that with the 135 feet of vertical (and I do believe the elevation is accurate) I am able to put together a mile 9 split of 10:16/mile.  Doing this deep in the run is a good sign – and honestly, I was just chugging along at what I thought was a kind of slow pace.  In no way was I attempting to run this split fast.  The fast split or faster split was to be mile ten – the last mile of the run and I put that together at 8:54/mile (faster than all previous splits).

Scott,

Thanks. The training is going well. I have my first 20 miler planned for this Saturday! Right now just practicing fluid intake and Power Gel with the Long runs. Haven't gotten into the food consumption stage yet...soon.
