A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

good tempo run

passion for running category: running on Thursday, July 29 2004

I was just shy (by 4 seconds) of the time Corinne and I had a couple weeks ago on my tempo run today. I ran the 7km course today in 30:20 – roughly a 7:00 minute-mile pace.

I dunno – I am just not sure about the distance of this course. Is the distance right or am I just showing under-confidence in being able to pull of that pace for 7km?

hmmm…I think I need to walk it one day with Aaron and his Speed+Distance thing-a-majig.

Anyway, I was happy since I ran the course pretty fast and it was a lot warmer than when I did it in 30:16 + I didn’t have a partner to push me.

A 7 min. mile pace? Wow, that’s great!!! I don’t even run 7 min. miles on my speed work days. :)

That is incredibly fast, Mark. Way to go!
