Long Tempo run would be 80 minutes @ MP.  I got these 9 miles done in 77 minutes @ 8:31/mile which is 4 seconds faster than MP.  Safe to say another tempo run and Quality workbout accomplished today!

So far, three Quality workouts this week – all Tempo runs.  If I get the six miler in tomorrow at Easy Pace, then The 30 mile goal for week one is reached along with the three necessary quality workbouts.  

That would be Week 1 of 20 week training schedule if in fact the 3/2/13 Woodlands, TX Marathon is a go.  I am still undecided on that.

Of note, the aim was simply to keep all splits in the 8:30s range.  All splits 8:30s range or better (there was an 8:26, 8:28 and 8:18 with the last split, Mile 9, being put together @ 8:18/mile pace).  High consistency throughout the nine miles…and this is of high importance.

Very encouraging and consistent nine miles. Way to go! I bet with a solid 20 week training block you could PR big in March.

ACorn,

Hi. I had a great week of running. And again, back to monitoring weekly for progress...because i tend to become inconsistent. Key would be as you say a "solid 20 week training block." Great race today by you. Congratulations!
