I ran 10 miles at GA pace (around 7:45 mpm), then at the turnaround I tried to see how long I could hang on at marathon pace. I'd have liked to do 10 miles at MP, but I didn't. I didn't monitor my pace, just tried to keep my HR around 174~175 (I hoped that would equate to 6:40 mpm) . There was a slight headwind, but I can't blame that. It was very tough to even go 6 miles, and my pace was about 15 sec/mile slower than I'd hoped for this effort level. Ah well... I'll try again in around three weeks. |
