Run: MP Tempo Previous Next

Notes

MP Tempo run at the house before work. Nice morning, 69 degrees, 30% humidity, wind SSW at 11 mph. 2 mile warmup then started out thinking I would try running 7:50 pace on the MP portion and see if I could pull it off. Found out I couldn't. Got a little warm and sunny, but don't think that was the reason. Ended up with a slow mile back into the wind around mile 7 and then actually stopped and walked a little right before the end of the last MP mile. Oh well, my hope of a BQ is out, but this should help me pace this next marathon a lot better.

MP miles were 7:55, 7:57, 8:06 (dropped my phone and had stop to pick it up), 7:54, 8:00, 8:21 (into the wind), 8:15, 8:07, 8:11 and then 8:32 on the last one (walked a little bit the last 1/4 mile). Avg pace through the first 9 miles was 8:05.
