Today's RLRF workout was my long run day. The schedule called for 15 miles at 8:11 pace. It's interesting that this run was 2 minutes faster than the first 17.5 miles on my one marathon race and about the same pace as my best 20+ mile run several months ago when I thought I was in the best condition. I don't think I could have gone over 20 miles at this pace but what the heck....I've got 14 more weeks to go on my training :-) I was pretty tire all day from this run.

Hey, that is a good sign that you are back to where you were before getting injured. The tired legs part will get better as you do more long runs. Great run.

From Steam8 on Sun, Nov 20, 2011 at 11:39:48 from 166.70.55.77

I would hope you would be tired after a run like that! Nice job! You've got to be feeling great with time and distance like that! Yeehoo!

Joe,

I'm not sure if I'm quite there...but getting close!

Steam,

I'm starting to feel more confident on the training for a 3:16 marathon. Each time I go into a training run I'm thinking.."Am I trying to do more than I am able to do?" but then when I'm finished and have hit the paces or exceeded them I gain some confidence. If the program is "true" I'll be there at the end!

From derhammer on Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 11:04:57 from 192.156.110.33

Great job, this run will feel easier after just a few more weeks.

From JG on Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 17:11:42 from 71.57.246.108

Great run Preston!. You have not been back at it long with a lengthy layoff, 14 weeks will make a huge difference, stay the course!
