Marathon Pace miles with 6.50 miles being done @ 8:41/mile AP.  The first four miles were done at 8:19-8:28/mile pace. 

Goals: Do more tempo runs of 5 miles @ 8:09/mile pace and ten milers at 8:35/mile pace.  The key to getting these done is to extend the distance out I think slowly and stay on pace not going out too fast – keeping the splits consistent at specified pace.  Thus yesterday did 6.5 miles at 8:32/mile.  Bring it up to 7.5-8 miles at 8:35/mile pace.

I ran with Joel today with the plan being to run at whatever pace he sets.  We run the splits at progressively slower paces.  A warm-up of 0.19 miles at 8:17/mile pace.  The splits for the 3.25 mile run that we did post warm up are 7:45/mile pace at ¼ mile mark and 8:25/mile pace by the end of the mile.  Mile 2 is 9:35/mile pace.  Mile 3 at close to 10:00/mile but by end of Mile 3 at 9:38/mile pace. The last ¼ mile done at 8:14/mile pace. 

Joel likes to run faster up front.  I suggested he run slower up front and treat it as a “warm up” versus jumping into fast running when muscles not properly prepared.  Then ease into the faster running.   This is not going to compromise the end result.  He will get AP of 9:08/mile or better by doing it this way.

I ran the Canal Trail with Marc today at 7:22am getting 8.16 miles done at 9:01 mile AP.  

The first four miles have AP being 9:10/mile AP. 

Despite the one minute walk break during Mile 5, by the end of the run the AP is down to 9:01/mile AP. 

STAPLE OF RUNNING: Run the first mile as a warm-up and ease into the run by letting the pace come to you. 

STAPLE OF RUNNING: Always try to Negative Split the run (run second half faster than first half).  If you don’t negative split the run – you went out too fast in the beginning!
