AM - 16 miles. 15K Wave Tempo in 50:39 (5:27/mile avg) - alternating 5 x (1K/2K). Tempo loop, so the splits are more of an estimate. Averaged 3:15 for the 1K segments and 6:51 for the 2K segments.

PM - 4 miles.

Slower today, but I'm not concerned. The marathon is about your body of work over 2-3 months, not the last 2-3 workouts. My hamstring has been intermittently bothersome for a week or two, so I'm being careful about not pushing the pace on faster sessions. Getting to the line healthy is a lot more important than squeezing an extra couple seconds out of workouts.

good thing it's only intermittently bothersome

Nothing a puppy can't fix!

Only noticeable if the pace dips to low 5s (and there isn't any need to run that fast anyways right now), or accelerating to cross a street quickly (i can use crosswalks). So very manageable and I'm sure backing off over the next two weeks will have it back to 100% by the 12th. It actually feels better this week than it did before running TOU. Like they say, a moderately hard 26 miles fixes most problems.

Running a marathon actually cured my plantar fasciitis a couple years ago.

Really good workout - sticking to the metric system, I see.

For track or anything that could/should be done on the track, metric wins.

Next spring I'm moving to furlongs for my tempos runs. Stay tuned!!!

From SlowJoe on Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 08:47:42 from 168.215.171.129

Can't wait - 22 yards per chain, 10 chains per furlong, 8 furlongs per mile. Now that's a system of units that makes sense.

From Jake K on Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 08:55:21 from 159.212.71.25

Endless possibilities....

AM - 15 miles. 80 Furlong Tempo in 52:00, really cranked it on the last two dozen chains.
