I need a training plan from someone who knows what he or she is doing; left to my own devices, I rarely slow myself down! Need proof? Check this out & see if you can spot what's wrong?
Have you spotted it? No, it's not the 5:37am start time. Haha! It's the average pace of 8:02! Saturdays are all about long, slow runs. There's nothing slow about an 8:02 pace over this many miles. To qualify for Boston, I'll need an average pace of around 8:22. There's no reason I should be running this fast on the runs that are meant to be slow.
One of these days, I'll figure out what I'm doing as far as a training plan & run coaching. As is already evident, I need plenty of guidance on this.
Here's your guidance. Stop listening to the experts. You're a fast runner! Run fast and WIN!
