Week 14, Day 6
Phase: Marathon
Workout: Long, Steady Run: 18 to 22 miles
Purpose: Build Endurance and leg resistance to fatigue
Decided against running a 5k this morning. Figured it would be a good idea to save the gas money and entry fee and run long instead.

Ran 3 on my own before meeting up with a friend who I’d arranged to run a 20 miler with. The pace was nice and gentle, the weather perfect and the time passed quickly; which all made for a very enjoyable run.

No real issues apart from a tiny bubble blister that seemed to form on the tip of one of my toes in the latter miles. It won’t cause any problems and was probably just the sock seam slightly out of place in the toe-box.

Nice to have a non-humid long run for a change and at this pace it felt like I could have run forever.

Time: 1:16:46 minutes
Distance: 23.5 miles
Pace: 8:22 minutes per mile
