I had a GREAT sleep last night, and woke up quite well for this.
KEY AM WORKOUT: 16.2 Mile Run, Ultra Style (8 minute run/2 min walk intervals).
Course: 4 laps of Fr. Capodanno Ave/Boardwalk.
Time: 2:28:35 with rest, 9:10 min/mile pace; 2:13:35 estimated with rest subtracted out, 8:15 min/mile pace.
Weather 62F, Clear, Light Winds.
I'm a Mack Truck! From the get go, the pace was pretty fast. The legs were totally loose, and felt great. The 10 minute intervals a couple of months ago usually covered about a mile of running, so I was expecting 16 intervals for this session. Instead I needed only 15 to complete the run; my pace was fast.
Except for a temporary tightening of the calves afterward, I am not sore at all from the long run, implying that the training I did this spring is working great!
Let's hope this Mack Truck is capable of going 100 miles in 24 hours.
