Notes
Goal: Easy at 8:32 pace
Weight is coming down well and I would be happy even with 155 on race day with carb loading. 150 would be OK, but I have to have some fuel. Eating very sensibly lately.
Tanner in St. Paul today.
Everything felt easy today. No pain anywhere. Will try and run all 23 miles on the trail tomorrow. No sense in running Harper with the boulders on the edge of the road. Frustrating. Maybe I'll try one of the other highways tomorrow.
I like the consistency. Still working on breathing. Most of the time it comes out to be every 3 steps exhale. Believe I could easily keep 8:32 pace for 26.3.
Tomorrow is 8:48-9:48 pace for 23. Final 17+ run as we taper to 16 and 13 in the final long runs before DSM. Yasso 800s on Wed were the peak for intervals, too. Some good tempo and MP runs yet to go, but very manageable. Still not sure how this training works out to be able to run an 8:00 pace for 26.2, but willing to stick with it.
