Marathon Training Day 7
It’s Sunday, so that means long run. First long(ish) run of the programme today: 7 miles at 10:23 per mile. I started out at the slowest end of the pacing range of 10:38-10:18 per mile as I haven’t run this long for a while and was worried the pace might get to me after a few miles. But everything went swimmingly (or runningly?) and I even managed to finish at the quicker end of the range. I had to force myself to slow down in the last few miles as I was consistently running 10:00-10:15 per mile. It was a great run and I feel really motivated for the rest of the programme. I’m actually looking forward to the long runs to an extent. I’m now off to get ready to go see a drag show involving a very good Dame Edna impersonator with a work friend and his friends. It should be fun.
