MP run. 25F and windy (15mph). Seven miles at current marathon pace, based on a heart rate of 152-154. Very disappointing result as far as pace. I expected to be a good 5 to 7 seconds ahead of last year at this time, not behind.
Two mile warmup in 13:36
5:49(153) | 5:50(153) | 5:52(154)
5:59(154) | 6:01(155) | 5:58(153)
6:02(154) | :27(130) :36(120) :51(110)
Not sure what to think about this. It's so bad, I'm wondering if I'm coming down with a cold or something.

sometimes it doesn´t work like expected, especially during the last weeks before a marathon race. i remember my last hard workout 10 days before my marathon pb (2:39)...i broke up the tempo runs because of feeling totally fatigue and went out in the woods for an easy run. ten days later i was totally recoverd and ran pb. Don`t worry Eric and take a couple of easy days!
Thanks, Tommy. I'm feeling better about today after e-mailing with Mystery Coach. Things are not as bad as they appear based on my analysis...in fact, I've got it just about exactly wrong! Which is good!
There's a reason why he's the coach and I'm not. =) Cheers!
