The road to 13.1: Proper pacing
27 February 2009
Thursday’s 4-mile run was a blast, even though it started really early. First, here’s the big picture:
Run #20: 4.06 miles, 42:28, 10:27.5/mile
I was very, very happy with that time. I felt good all the way through, even when I had to tromp through some snow. On top of that, though, my splits made me really happy.
Mile 1: 10:40.84
Mile 2: 10:49.12
Mile 3: 10:49.05
Mile 4: 9:42.99
The first three miles were great because I paced myself well. My pacing on miles 2 and 3 was … wow. The reward for that hard work was the fourth mile. I felt so incredibly good as I powered (well, for me, anyway) through that last mile.
