Week of September 2nd

This week I once again repeated my usual training of two 5ks during the week and a longer run at the weekend.   For both the short runs I went around Horsham park and was aiming for race pace at about 7:30 minutes per mile.  This was easily achieved, with both runs being just a bit quicker than on target.

Distance: 3.01 miles
Time: 22:30
Pace:  7:28 mins/mile

Distance: 3.01 miles
Time: 22:12
Pace:  7:22 mins/mile

For my long run I planned on going 10 miles around the streets, aiming for 7:30 minute miles.  I started off to quickly by running a sub 7 minute mile, so had to slow it down and concentrate on my pacing.  After a loop around the park I managed to keep well on pace, running the next 5 miles between 7:22 and 7:44.  However for the last four miles my pace dropped a bit to around 8 minute miles.  In the end I averaged a pace of 7:38, which is only slightly over my target pace so I felt happy with the run.

Distance: 10.0 miles
Time: 01:16:27
Pace:  7:38 mins/mile
