AM - 6.06 easy miles. I have noticed that since the marathon, my easy run pace has increased. I suspect this is due to increased muscular and CV fitness. Total time for today's run was 48:37, average pace of 8:01/mile. I had a couple of miles that were sub-8, but the rest hovered right around the 8:05-8:10 mark and felt good. I will probably consider the two sub-8 miles to be "garbage" miles, not here nor there. I am not sure whether to let my easy pace remain around 8:00/mile or try to force myself to run slower. 8:00 pace feels comfortable and economical. 8:30 pace at this point feels choppy and less efficient. |
