Quality workout: Progressive run.

12.01 miles done at 10:48am.  The Canal Trail route.  Did the 12.01 miles in 1:47:50 at 8:58/mile.

The plan was to bring the overall pace down every three miles.

At 3 miles, pace is 9:20/mile.  At 6 miles, pace is 9:06/mile.  At 9 miles, pace is 8:58/mile and at 12 miles, pace is 8:58/mile. 

While the last three miles did not see a reduction in overall pace across the 12 miles…the reason for this can be seen below…mile 11 split has elevation gain of 147 feet!  Thus the last three miles were in fact run at a higher intensity than the previous three mile portions.

Successful run.

Marathon pace is 8:35/mile and Easy Pace is 9:35/mile. 

Overall these 12 miles done 23 seconds slower than MP and 37 seconds faster than Easy pace.

Looking at the splits…half the miles run at Marathon pace and half run at Easy pace.

Daniels: Mesocycle II, Week 2 of 6 Summary: I ran five days this week for 34.48 miles out of six scheduled days (with 44 miles scheduled).  Thus ran 78% of the scheduled miles.  Missed a nine miler.  I am not overly concerned about this.  Did not hit the 90% minimum.  But I did run 18 of the past 22 days.  During the past three weeks, I ran 125.25 miles which is > 10% total 2011 mileage!  Did speed work this week in the form of pick-ups.  And ran two quality workouts.  This is acceptable to me.  I am on track.  As next week may also see 5 of six days being run, may consider running a little longer some days or even doubling one day to hit the scheduled mileage.

Solid week. I missed some of my scheduled miles too! You kicked off some quality MP miles in this workout. I don't want to jinx you but I bet this year will treat you well in the running arena.

nice workout, PRE. very solid splits, and nice progression of intensity throughout the run.

ACorn, You could never jinx me! And thanks for letting me know you missed some of your miles. I often think most to all of the bloggers never or seldom miss miles. Nice to know at least one person out there misses some occasionally.

Allie, Thank you. I liked this workout. Was kind of fun. A progressive run but not so formal and precise (9:30, 9:20, 9:10, etc.).
