Notes
A pretty good long run. I ran the last 11 miles of the VCM course to get my head in that mindset. I tried to stay focused on what I was doing, running tangents and all that to simulate race day. I added on a couple of miles up in Colchester and then came down the bike path. I didn't anticipate dropping the pace but I think getting my head in race mode made me speed up. I ran the last mile in 4:44 then tacked on. It wasn't 100%, but I think it was close. I can't even imagine Eliud running 26 miles at 4:35 pace.
