Once again, Thanks for all the advice.

Here's the #'s guys. I did finish. It was a much hotter and much slower run than I expected. I did add in an extra challenge they had, which was an extra mile with a series of steep hill climbs.

I forgot to wear my HRM of course, which is something I never do. If my #'s are close, the majority of the run would have been high Z2 or low Z3. I'm not sure of the last hour, which was around a 160 average. I'm guessing that would be roughly my lactate threshold. I haven't got far enough into my training to check that yet.

Congrats and solid effort for sure! Your first mile is around a minute and a half of your last mile, meaning you did great at pacing yourself. How did you feel after? Signed up for any other races?

For those who are looking to get better/faster at running, I highly suggest reading "Running Rewired" by Jay Dicharry. It's helpful by understanding the most efficient way to run and avoid injuries as you ramp up the mileage. Has plenty of exercises, mobility tests, and tips on how to correct form if you have deficiencies (I have plenty). Borrowed it from my local library and going to purchase it to have as a reference.

Happy training everyone!

I felt pretty good afterwards. I stayed active throughout the day, and ran around playing with the granddaughter yesterday without feeling it too bad.

Squats, bench press, and situps went well this morning. I'll get a few miles in running again tomorrow morning.

I've got a 100 miler in October
