Distance: 10.00 mi Time: 1:35:48 Avg Pace: 9:35 min/mi Elevation Gain: 512 ft Calories: 1,331 C

I ran ten Easy miles today.  Split 1-3 and 8 is at 9:35/mile and split 4-7 is at 9:14/mile.  Thus the first 8 miles done at 9:25/mile. 

Given the 10th mile is done at 9:32/mile means 9 miles done at 9:26/mile.  

The 9th mile done at 11:00/mile brings overall pace for the ten miles from 9:26/mile to 9:35/mile.  I’d be willing to bet the 9th mile split has more elevation than the stated 129 feet!  

I amused myself thinking about how at times race directors throw these kinds of hills into their races.  I have run Skiff Street before and so I am very familiar with the elevation.  It is never easy and is challenging.  Getting through those hills without walking equals success. 

So I get a ten miler in and it seems like it has been a while since I ran ten (not counting doubles).

34 Miles for the week.  Not 40-50 miles.  But not terrible either.

July saw 150 miles run.   

Doing pretty well with getting in decent mileage.

Doing AM runs.  Doing Doubles.  Doing more mileage “consistently.”  The first nine weeks of training has gone well I think. 

Going into week 10 of an 18 week training program.

Still running Easy Miles.
