Comments: I sat down yesterday and wrote out a 16-week marathon training plan. To be ready for a race in mid-October, I need to start on it in July. So this tail end of June will be trying out the various elements of the plan to see how I handle them. I already did an interval workout this week so pace runs, hills and tempo should show up soon.
Today, though, was a normal training run. This will need to be somewhere between a slow recovery run and the race pace runs. At the moment, I'm shooting for 9:30 pace which I comfortably handled today. I have a 10K on July 4 that should give me a more specific number to guage these workouts.
The run went well except for having to get up for it.
