longest solo training run today ever. I have obviously run a marathon which is longer, but i was severely undertrained. Today, sore knee and all, i got out and hit 18 miles (actually a touch longer i found out). I ran the entire thing several seconds per mile UNDER BQ pace. My final time was 2:07:15, which averages out to 7:03 per mile...a very decent clip and one that i am pleasantly surprised about especially given my conservative early pace. By all accounts, i cant tell where nearly any of my splits were til 13.5 miles in, and so i do know i negative split the run, but im not sure by how much...perhaps by more than 2 minutes is my best educated guess. The last 4.5 miles I dropped 2.5 miles in the GMP range, a 6:47, a 6:49 and a 3:20ish half mile right after i turned around at 13.5. my last 4.5 miles was covered in right near 31:00 pace, which is 6:53 pace...a very good way to bring it home. did 7x50 meter strides after. Gonna take tomorrow off to ice my knee nonstop, then taper for a 15k race pace run in the half next weekend (hoping to be on pace though so i can bring it home in under 1:20!
