16 miles. I had a good long(er) run this morning. Left my house at 6:10 and met up with Brayden after 4 miles. Ran 8 with Brayden and then the last 4 back home solo. My average pace was a 7:44 and that felt nice. I pushed myself once at the beginning for half a mile and then I ran at marathon pace for 2 miles around miles 13 and 14. I wanted to push a couple miles to marathon pace near the end of the run to see how it felt. Surprisingly I felt good and could have gone another mile, but I wanted to have the last two be a little slower to "cool down" a bit. At the beginning of the run my quads were a little sore and I mentioned to Brayden that I was feeling a little tired/weak. I attributed it to having a good running week and it just being cumulative fatigue. I loosened up and overall felt good. My knees were a little tight near the end as well, but that is to be expected from this distance for me. I iced them up when I got home and they feel fine now. I feel good about this week and having hit all of my goals. I look forward to a rest day tomorrow and then starting another week. Only 2 months until race day. [update] After uploading the data from my watch and looking at my splits a day later, I am super pleased with this run. Brayden and I started speeding up around my 10th mile and the rest of the run was a decent pace for me. | 1 | 8:30.8 | 1.00 | 8:31 | | 2 | 8:05.5 | 1.00 | 8:05 | | 3 | 7:57.6 | 1.00 | 7:58 | | 4 | 7:36.9 | 1.00 | 7:37 | | 5 | 7:57.3 | 1.00 | 7:57 | | 6 | 8:04.9 | 1.00 | 8:05 | | 7 | 8:16.3 | 1.00 | 8:16 | | 8 | 7:58.5 | 1.00 | 7:59 | | 9 | 7:52.0 | 1.00 | 7:52 | | 10 | 7:39.9 | 1.00 | 7:40 | | 11 | 7:27.8 | 1.00 | 7:28 | | 12 | 7:27.4 | 1.00 | 7:27 | | 13 | 7:16.0 | 1.00 | 7:16 | | 14 | 6:52.1 | 1.00 | 6:52 | | 15 | 7:32.4 | 1.00 | 7:32 | | 16 | 7:10.9 | 1.00 | 7:11 | | 17 | :01.1 | 0.00 | 8:08 |
