With less than 72 hours until the Rock ‘n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon I must admit I was looking forward to getting this workout out of the way and then enjoying […]
Week 7 - Key Run Workout #3
The end of Week 7 called for a long run of 13 miles @ PMP + 15secs/mile, but seeing as though I’m running the Rock’n’Roll Half Marathon next weekend (which just happens to be 13.1 miles), I decided to do a little more this week and cut back next week instead. I hoped to run […]
