I did my long run today, the day after my 5k. I planned to do 10. I was meeting a bunch of people at 10 AM but they were only going to do 5 or a little more. I decided to do 2 first before meeting the group so I at least got 7 in.
I ran out 1 mile and turned around. I didn't come back the same way and decided to run the big hill. That hill was slower than everything else I ran but it wasn't as bad as I ever thought it was. I guess I'm getting better.
Since not only was my long run the day after running a 5k but was also my first over 6.5 miles since I ran the marathon, I figured it would be slow. I was also running with new people and didn't know their pace. I was hoping to finish it all at a 10:20 pace. I was successful.
The temperature started around 28 degrees and warmed up to 35. The wind chill said it was 18 when I started and it was 20 when I looked later. I forgot to check at the very end of the run. It felt much warmer than that. I started the run with my hat on and my ear warmers. I took off the hat and my sleeves off after 2 miles. I took my gloves off and my light coat with about a mile left of the loop. I dropped those off and my neck warmer thing off at the car after the loop and ran in just a tank + dry weave shirt and headband. My hands got cold on that run though.

Here's some detailed information if you are interested.
The 5.04 miles were run with 4:1 intervals.
The 3.04 miles were run with 3:1 until the last mile and we ran straight through.

Was the hill in mile 2 of the first 2.11 miles? You actually had a faster mile there! I'm impressed!!!
ReplyDeleteThe hill was in mile 2. The downhill was also in mile 2 though. My 2:34 split was the split with the majority of the hill. I think I started the hill at 1.44 in (but this is just based on memory so don't quote me) and the hill was done about .2 later but then you have a little level and more hill so it ended slightly after .75 but most of it was in that split.
