run 09.13.09

First run after reading "Run Less, Run Faster". This book focuses on a 3 day a week run with 2 days of cross training which will make it more feasable to train for the 1/2 marathan & triathalon. Since I missed my long run which was rained out yesterday I ran it tonight.................
8 mile run without T, long & lonely...according to this book my goal pace is 9:46 for 8 miles.
Mile 1 9:54 ave pace,
Mile 2 9:43,
Mile 3 9:51,
Mile 4 9:53,
Mile 5 9:48,
Mile 6 9:40,
Mile 7 8:32, I sped it up to get home faster
Mile 8 9:28.

The next 2 runs for the week will be track repeats of 12 x 400 meters @ 1:57 and a tempo run of 2 miles easy at 10:21, 3 miles @ short tempo at 8:46 and 1 mile easy at 10:21. I'm excited to put this running plan with cross training to the test & change things up. 1/2 marathon pace goal is 9:26.

  1. DAYUM! Seriously, you need to stop running with me. I am slowing you waaaaaay down! Great job! Can't wait for my book! BTW, it's "triathlon" NOT "triathAlon" I did the same thing when I started! LOL We just have Tri-A-Licious on the brain!
