I got my long run out of the way early this week. Time wise, it was my longest run ever! Well it was the longest by about 5 seconds. It was still a bit of distance off of my longest run, which was done on much hillier trail.
The run went well considering the heat index was in the mid to high 80s. I started the run a little after the 7, so as I went a long I had less and less sun to deal with. I had been struggling with long runs in the heat so I was only running 15 minutes out and then heading back to the car to get a gel and some water. This turned out to be a great idea as I never hit the wall like I had been doing on pretty much all of my previous long runs.
The first 30 minutes I was running 6:20-6:25, the second 30 was 6:09-6:12, and then I hit a little over 22 minutes in under 5:50 pace. I finished up with a jog until I hit a 100 minutes. I was happy with how the run turned out. The rest of the week is going to stay fairly easy until I hit up a street mile on saturday a.m.
