Week 7, Day 5
Phase: Pre-Marathon
Workout: 35 to 45 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance

Nice steady four miler tonight which was really a race back to the house against a fast approaching black rain cloud. I managed to get to the local high school track, ran one lap in 79 seconds as a test for tomorrow’s Strider Mile (about 5:20 per mile pace) and swiftly returned home – just in time for the heaven’s to open and the rain come down.

My legs didn’t feel as rested as I’d hoped and it was really quite a “nothing” run. Still, 4 more miles in the bank which my total for 2008 to 1427….

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 30:00
