phase two has begun
For phase two of my training, Andrew’s got me doing two new things. On Sundays, I’m doing a 9ish mile run that includes a three mile warmup, three mile tempo and three mile cool down (the warmup and cooldown sections of this run will eventually be run at marathon pace). On Wednesdays and Fridays I do hills.
Here are the results from yesterday’s run:
Time: 74:30
Distance: 9.54
Pace: 7:48 minutes per mile
I’m really happy with this effort firstly because I am certain I ran the tempo section in under 7:30 pace feeling extremely relaxed. Secondly, because it was a tough run into a lot of wind.
In other news, today’s my second 20 miler (in the last three years) and I’m hoping I don’t have quite the train wreck I had last week. Wish me luck!

good luck! i don’t know how you say “7:30 pace” and “relaxed” in the same sentence! I bow before your greatness (oh and andrew’s too.)
