The plan was to do a 10 minute warm up + 200, 400, 600, 800, 800, 600, 400, and 200 with 400 RIs for all except for the 200 which would have a 200 RI.  Got the 200, 400 and another 400 done of the 600 and had to cut the workout short because a soccer game was beginning at the H.S.  The goal pace was 7:26/mile and got that done for the most part for the workbout portions. 

Not much of a workout today given the above.  As it takes two minutes to work up to VO2max intensity, I did not get much running, if any, at VO2max tonight.

In the future, might just go with 800s, 1000s, and 1200s when doing VO2max interval workouts at 5K pace as this will get me running in the 3-5 minute range per workbout portion.

Sat, Oct 5, 2013 2:00 PM

Distance:

12.01 mi

Time:

A 12 mile run @ 8:57/mile pace in 1:47. 

A progressive run for the first six miles at

9:20, 9:10, 9:00, 8:50, 8:40, and 8:30. 

Then a Gatorade break for mile 7 with walking – a 9:44 split. 

Did a 9:00/mile split for mile 8

and 8:50s for mile 9-11

with a final 12th mile at 8:39/mile.    

 

I am at VDOT 42 for the 5K and Half Marathon distance.

Not so for the Marathon distance because I have not put in the Long runs.

VDOT 42 would require I go out at 8:35/mile pace for the Marathon.

If I do that in NY, the doors will come off at mile 18-20.

My only shot – go for 8:55/mile AP for the Marathon.

The plan thus is to go for 9:00s for the first 20 miles and then pick up the pace for the last 6.2 miles. 

Prepare: Simply do 13-20 milers at MP + 25 seconds (which is 9:00/mile)
