Pace: 9.41 (rolling hills)

Conditions:

  • 41° (feels like 35°)
  • Winds NW 8 mph

Today's Running Goals:

  • Hydrate every 2 miles / Food every 5 miles -  (probably need food more often)
  • Complete 16 miles by 2:40:00 - (2:37:34)
  • Increase speed with final 6 miles to go - (final 12 miles were continuous hills making the last 6 miles really hard to increase my speed / mile 21 turned into splits / it was the only way that I could convince myself to finish

Take Aways:

  • Even though I bonked on mile 21, my overall pace improved from last week (10:00 last week to 9:40 this week). Plus, I ran an additional 2 miles this week.
  • Here are my 5 mile splits: 5 miles - 9:49 / 10 miles - 9:49 / 15 miles - 9:51 / 20 miles - 9:45 / 22.02 - 8:30
  • I'd like to see what my pace for a long run is like on a flat course, but it is probably best that I stick with this hilly course. Pushing myself now on the hills hopefully works to my advantage on race day since the course is flat. My fingers are crossed that I won't be physically spent on the final 6 miles of race day. One can always dream!
