Notes
Eugene marathon course with Robyn, Josh, Renee, and other runners from Eugene. Started at a little beyond mile 6 on the course and ran to Hayward. Plan was 20 with 14 at Robyn's MP 6:50. Executed nicely. Robyn did great! I was stiff and sore to start, but we went slow at first so I was okay. Had to make a quick pee stop between mile 1-2 and then picked up pace to catch up. That warmed me and elevated the HR in a hurry. Maintaining MP wasn't too difficult but the "current pace" feature on the Garmin is worthless. Will go with average pace and just monitor HR and mile splits. We should be good with this during the race. Robyn averaged 6:56 for this run, only 6 seconds a mile slower than MP. Very solid run for her! This run didn't take much out of me and I wanted to keep going at the end, which was a good thing.
