Week 15 - Long run

Today was my last big run before the marathon which is a week away. It started off pretty rough, which I believe is because of the heart rate monitor which I decided to dust off and use for the first time in this marathon's training. I tried to keep my rate down and watch my pace, but ended up running the first mile in like 9:25, much slower than I intended. I pushed harder but my lungs were hurting. I finally took the monitor off at 3 miles and things went better from there on out. I guess I have it adjusted too tight or something.

I managed to do 10 miles in about 87 minutes, around an 8:40/mi pace, which is what I'm aiming for at the marathon. Just a couple easy runs coming up this week and the big event on Sunday.


Weekly Total: 19 miles
Yearly Total: 294.7 miles
