The session was 60 minutes duration, including 5 minutes warm-up, 50 minutes "fairly solid pace" & 5 minutes warm-down. I didn't find it an 'easy' run, but then 'fairly solid' is not synonymous with 'easy', I guess.
Total distance for 60 minutes was 8.5km (not far, is it?); fairly warm at 11:00 a.m. when I started & got even warmer as the pace became more solid! Polar monitor gives me average HR of 80-85% & 7:03min/km....oh dear, my 1st marathon, 5 years ago, was run slightly faster than that pace!
I'll call it a "pilot study" for Blackmore's half marathon, which I hope won't be any longer than SMH half (2:27).
Dame LL I wonder if you'd like some company for the half? It's my first and I will be happy to finish it with a smile. I know I will if I run with you as you get all the cheering!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Owl! See your blog for the answer!
ReplyDeleteHey LL,
ReplyDeleteGood run, sounds like you're on track for Blackmores. Also remember that in that 60 mins 8.5km you had a warm up and warm down (10mins)!
