Week 17, Day 7
Phase: Marathon
Workout: Long, Steady Run: 20 to 24 miles
Purpose: Build Endurance and leg resistance to fatigue

Much better run than last Sunday; a 20 miler at an average pace of 7:23 per mile. The plan called for 20 to 24 miles, but after being sick this week I didn’t want to push my luck and settled for a solid 20. The weather was pretty much perfect for a long run and made for a very enjoyable two and a half hours.

Nice way to end Week 17. Just 3 weeks to go….

For the record:

Distance: 20 miles
Time: 2:36:33
Pace: 7:50 per mile
