81:03 (9:19)
So I didn't mean to run quite this long. I wanted to do about 8 miles, but my friend wanted to do an extra loop. I felt pretty good. A lot better than last week doing the same run. I have a 5 mile race on Monday that I am hoping to beat my PR and break 32 minutes. I haven't decided if I am going to do my usual long run on the Sunday before or if I should flip it to Saturday. Anyway, glad to see the frequency of posts around here has already picked up the last week or so. Good to see everyone running a lot...

Most people say not to have a long run the same weekend as a race.
ReplyDeleteYeh but I think if I did it on Saturday morning, I could do an easy 4-5 on Sunday and then be ready to go on Monday. I'm not trying to peak for this race, but at least I would be fresh and could still keep piling up the mileage. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYeah I suppose you could live up to your LR screen name...just don't go too crazy on the long run pace. And I guess don't go too crazy at the race either...just get a nice big PR and make everything within three days of it recovery.
ReplyDeletehaha yeh. have you noticed i actually post a decent amount these days on LR? i haven't seen much of LukeTheRunner lately though..
ReplyDeleteFor the race, I think I'm going to start at 6:30 pace for the first mile and then gradually ratchet it up, maybe finishing around 6:15 or faster.
I agree with Luke's second comment. Just make sure you get that PR! I'm also glad to see lots of posting lately. Speaking of which, what ever happened to Kevin?
ReplyDeleteSteve - I actually haven't seen your posts...and I guess I've been using the backwards apostrophe more than LukeTheRunner...either way I haven't been on there a ton...a good amount, but not a ton.
ReplyDeleteChris - I don't know what happened to Kevin...I took his Bio and stuff down a week or two ago since I hadn't heard from him in a month or two.
