Week 7, Day 7
Phase: Pre-Marathon
Workout: Long, Steady Run: 90 minutes
Purpose: Build Endurance and leg resistance to fatigue

Pleasant “long” run this morning which at 90 minutes duration was a nice drop down in mileage over the previous 2 or 3 weeks. I ran with a friend at a comfortable pace and covered right on 11 miles in the allotted time. Legs felt pretty good despite the one mile race on the track yesterday.

Tomorrow is Day 50 of the marathon plan and the start of quite a tough week. I’m looking forward to ramping it up to the next level….

Distance: 11 miles
Time: 1:30:00
