Today was an easy long run of about 1 hour. I started from home and ran out 30 minutes and back 30 mintes at an easy Endurance pace. My heart rate never went above 160, which is right about where my "tempo zone" begins. Pace was just about 8:30/mi, so I feel pretty good about that. I'd really like to see my goal marathon pace be 8:30/mi (~ 3:45:00 marathon), but as of now, I'm targeting 9:00/mi (~4:00:00 race) for the Colfax Marathon in May. The graph is pretty boring. Pretty much a generally straight line after I got going. There are a couple of prominant dips where I had to stop and wait for a light to change. I felt great the whole way, though.
I'm riding long with the cycling club tomorrow. 48 miles starting from Golden, Colorado and heading into the foothills. Should be fun!
