12 Miles With 4 at Pace
I did this 12 mile run with 4 pace miles since Rick was going out of town and I didn't have days to do the runs separately (the plan called for a 4 mile pace run the day before the 12 mile run). Rick suggested doing the pace miles in the middle, but I liked them at the end. The pace miles were 7:12, 7:11, 7:11, 7:01, and 7:13 (for .73). This was a good run but a little boring since it was laps in the dark.

8 Miles with Single Jogger
I still wanted company on my run! I am getting lonely on my runs. My son agreed to come with me in the single stroller since it has a nice rain shield. He hasn't been on a run in awhile, and he really wanted to go. He now weighs 50 pounds, and I am feeling it in my upper body today still! But it was a great fall run with him, and I'm pretty happy with my times. I was going for a 7:15 in that last mile---so close! Average was 8:09, a decent pace for a long run and fine during the taper.
Last short track workout tomorrow and then a heavy taper with 2 2-milers and 2 rest days!! It feels crazy to have only that left.
I'm impressed with your stroller pace!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gracie! The truth is, the last two miles were laps around my fairly flat neighborhood. The first 6 were more hilly and involved street crossings, etc. Amazing how much smoother the stroller goes on flat, smooth roads!
