Re-evaluating my training pace


480px-speed_limit_60_signsvg

Using a “theoretical” 7’01” mile race (based on only being able to run a 7’19” mile interval), I did a gut check on my pacing.  Yep, I’m running too fast.  Shocking.  I’m going to have to force myself to run at 6.0 mph on the treadmill.

  • Recovery Jogs 10:33 to 11:03
  • Long Runs 9:33 to 10:33
  • Easy Runs 9:33 to 10:03
  • Tempo Runs 8:14 to 8:35

  1. 6.0 will feel slooow for you. smart training isn’t always fun training. just relax and enjoy the run. unless it is on a treadmill. in case of treadmill, just remember you’re making yourself stronger. there is no fun on a treadmill
