5mi. The “prescribed” workout for pre-marathon Thursday is run the track session at half speed or do 6 – 800m intervals at marathon pace.
Not today! I ran the familiar workout next to Attila, we were going faster than I would have but with no problems or strain. My breath was taxed, but it recovered quickly. Now to lay off until Sunday’s race. Weather should be warmer than the previous 4 years for A1A Marathon, but I have the experience and nutritional plan to deal with that.
I forgot to stop my Garmin at the end of the cool down. I drove south and once in PGA National, I stopped the watch. When I got home, I plugged it in to sync. The data now automatically updates to Strava. Josh Skielnik congratulated my on my 8.9 mi run at 5:39 pace! Ooops….
