Week 10 Day 7

Today is my high, 15 miles. I couldn't dare to try a hill again. I need to give my body some adjustment. So I ran on the trail towards Timberlea as it was cold (-5C). I thought towards the bay would be cold if wind blows.

RunKeeper lost signal between mile 3 and 5. When the signal came back, it reported I ran about 4 miles with average pace at 10:30. I knew it wasn't right. I never ran at such a slow pace.

I tried some marathon pace.

Mile Pace Elevation(ft) 
6 7:23 -52 
7 7:41 41 
8 7:17 -5 
9 7:33 -2 
10 7:38 -27 
11 7:24 -13 
12 7:34 -56 
13 7:21 -88

I think running at 7:30 pace is still my comfortable pace. On a flat course, I think I can run 7:30 as a MP, which would give me 3:17 for a marathon.

Having said that, my calves are quite sore after 15 miles. So I am not sure if my calves can take that pace for a marathon.
