Week two of the new marathon training plan brought four quality runs. In this plan I run Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Thursday was a speed work day and my birthday. I capped the week off with a 14 mile run that really gave me a gauge of my fitness.
- Tues (8/18) - 1:07:35, 7.86 miles, 8:35 min/mi
- Thurs (8/20) - 53:17, 6.00 miles, 8:35 min/mi
- Speed work: 2x1600 - target 7:22 each, actual 7:14 and 7:38
- Fri (8/21) - 1:04:26, 7.22 miles, 8:55 min/mi
- Sun (8/23) - 2:05:15, 14.01 miles, 8:56 min/mi
This Tuesday's easy run showed me a glimpse of what I hope to train at for my next marathon.
- Tues (8/25) - 00:57:33, 7.00 miles, 8:13 min/mi
I found that I could run 7 miles at 8:13 min/mile pace with very little problem. Maybe this is a new easy pace for me, which might mean we can see a Boston qualifier in 2010!
