Two Recent Long Runs
>> Saturday, November 25, 2023
The end of October saw my first treadmill long run of the season because I had bad diarrhea the day before and didn't want to 💩 myself far from home. That was 11 miles in 1:13:35 (6:41 overall pace) with the middle 6 descending in 37:41 (which is an average of 6:16.83 for those faster miles).
The next week contained NO long run because I raced the USATF MN CC 8K Championship (and check out this post for about a dozen photos from that race if you missed it).
So I finally had a more normal long run on November 13. I went a LITTLE farther than normal and did 12.04 miles in 1:21:37 (6:47 overall pace) with the middle 6 faster in 36:39 (which is an average of 6:06.05 for those faster miles). I really kicked it into gear at the turn-around because I did the first 3 faster miles in 18:39, and the last 3 faster miles in 18:00.
Route with half-mile splits shown. Laps 5-17 were the fast ones.
QUITE similar to the one above. I like my "go to" routes.
