fastest, easiest long run ever
Yesterday I remarked how I thought today’s run would not set any records. I thought that because, well, I’m tired from all the miles I’ve been logging and didn’t think I’d have anything in the tank for today’s run.
Apparently, I was wrong…
Distance: 21.52 miles
Time: 2:49:19
Pace: 7:52 minutes per mile
Average HR: 159 (targeting 150 to 160)
Weather: Perfect (cool with very little wind)
Not only does this long run blow away all long runs previous but it also felt GREAT the entire way.
Look out Regina! I’m officially tapering!!!

Edit: Adding some details
First 9 miles = 7:57 min/mile
Next 9 miles = 7:43 min/mile
Last 3.5 miles = 8:02 min/mile (intentionally slowed down here)

Just beautiful, Mark. Speedy pace and a heck of a distance. I’d say you are going to have a great race. Please be careful in the taper. RBF folks seems to crashing bikes and falling all over the place.
