Tempo run today; started at 6.5 and worked up to 7.5. Worked back down a bit and then hovered between 6.9 and 7 with the occasional minute at 7.5 until the end.
4.6 miles in 39:36 for 8:36/mile; one water stop at 2.5 miles
One thing I've realized is that my injuries over the last couple of years, coupled with marathon training, made me focus on steady mileage over pace. I told my running buddy that marathon training had actually made me slower while I focused on building up the ability to run for so long, and it really is true. Now I need to focus on maintaining the mileage base while picking up speed again.
