Recovery and 16 mile fast finish run
With a double on Monday and an easy 9 mile recovery run on tues, Justin and I ventured down to Lowell, MA to run on the Marathon Course. Justin is running the Baystate Marathon in a week and a half and this is one of the workouts he has planned. The 1st mile was slow like 8:16 and then we averaged around 7:30 pace for 8 miles. At that point you are to pick up the pace for 6 miles at your Marathon pace. My goal pace is somewhere between 6:40- 6:50 and this is what I did : 6:53, 7:00 Powergel, 6:51, 6:38, 6:45, 6:39 and an 8:36 for a cool down. I think I nailed it pretty good and I feel great afterwards. Last week we ran the same workout on a 21.5 miler and I wasn’t close. So the fitness keeps getting better. YEAH
