Had another strong long run today! My goal was to keep the mile average between a 12:15-12:28 pace, but once again we started off a little fast with an 11:50 first mile. I'm not sure why it's so hard to keep a desired pace, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm trying to keep us too slow when really the comfort level is a little faster into the 11:45-12:15 range. It felt really strong and except for the end I never felt very winded. But, then again this is only half of a marathon so maybe once the distance increases into the 15 + mile range I'll have a better idea of how to adjust pace in the first half.
Mile 1: 11:49
Mile 2: 12:06
Mile 3: 11:45
Mile 4: 11:31
Mile 5: 11:43
Mile 6: 11:39
Mile 7: 11:46
Mile 8: 11:56
Mile 9: 11:57
Mile 10: 12:02
Mile 11: 12:09
Mile 12: 12:01
Mile 13: 11:30
Mile 13.1: 1:07
Total Miles: 13.1
Total Time: 2:35:02
Avg. Mile: 11:50
