Long Run with MP. Ran on the treadmill due to bad road conditions outside (more snow). First ten miles in 1:04:39 (avg 139HR), then seven miles at current MP:
5:53(154) | 5:51(152) | 5:52(153)
5:53(154) | 5:53(154) | 5:50(156)
5:48(156) :50(130) 1:11(120) 2:41(110)
First ten went off without a hitch. Took a gel and water at nine miles--did the same thing during last week's long run and it really seemed to help. The first two of the seven felt a bit heavy and tired, but that gradually lifted, and by 13.5 miles, I started feeling really strong. Resisted the urge to crank up the pace, but when I was still feeling good with 1.5 miles to go, I decided to pick it up just a bit.
Felt very good today. Dare I say, this back-to-back was easy. Tomorrow--the third half of the back-to-back.
