The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner-Runner
kinboshi:
Just got back from Silverstone.
Had all my excuses lined up this morning - I had to play a full hockey match yesterday, I didn"t get an early night because of the boxing, it was really warm today so the heat would slow me down, etc.
BUT - I managed to run it in 1h 38m - which works out at 7m/24s mile pace, so faster than my target time.
Going to download my splits for each mile to see how I ran it, but I know that I was really struggling at 12 miles.
kinboshi:
Here are my splits (the total distance I ran was 13.3 miles according to my GPS whatsit, rather than the 13.1 miles which is the shortest distance you can run on the course):
Mile - pace
1 - 7:14
2 - 7:24
3 - 7:23
4 - 7:24
5 - 7:26
6 - 7:30
7 - 7:28
8 - 7:24
9 - 7:22
10 - 7:30
11 - 7:14
12 - 7:30
13 - 7:45 (I was hurting)
last .3 of a mile - 6:11 (still had enough for a sprint finish)
Quite pleased with that to be honest.
