Running Log: Week 11

My short runs this year have not been as fast as last years. But by slowing down just a little bit, I am staying consistent and I hope to have a sub 5 hour marathon in November. This week, I finally outperformed a run from last year, the 29k. Last years time: 3:34:14.

A weird phenomenon I have been experiencing recently is during the first 8k or so, I feel as if I have weights around my ankles. Then that feeling slowly dissolves and I end up picking up speed. That is why the pace of my 8ks is slower than that of my 13ks.

Also of note, in terms of total distance, I think this week will be my longest running week.

Next week: Iheya Moonlight Marathon (21.1k)
