So this past weekend I needed to get my first long run, which in reality, wasn't too long. I went up to South Mountain Reservation and ran four miles at a very slow pace as per Tracy (my run coach). We want to establish and build upon a slow pace to help make even longer runs more enjoyable. Typically I would have tried to push a 9-min/mile pace and would have been gasping for breath at the end. This time I ran an average of 11:09 min/mile pace and felt like I could keep going for several more miles. So, mission accomplished.
This week I'll go back to lifting some weights in a full body circuit I wrote up as well as get some more miles under my legs and on the bike. Stay tuned for more details as we're only 158 days away from the triathlon!
