If anything, the difficult weather has limited my likelihood of overdoing it, so I suppose that's a good thing. See you at Amherst next weekend!Patrick Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018340056717339542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-88093894163071164762015-02-08T06:53:12.029-08:002015-02-08T06:53:12.029-08:00Pat- GREAT Job!

This big sessions can make a huge impact but you risk leaving your race in the workout if you don't take it easy enough after to recover. <br />natenateruns@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851427962048556845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-64414580369213679762015-02-07T16:53:03.404-08:002015-02-07T16:53:03.404-08:00I tried "the Rothlin" today after about ...I tried "the Rothlin" today after about 11 hours in the sack last night. My best marathon pace is 5:40/mi. (3:32/km), but with a goal of 5:47/mi. or 3:36/k for the Caumsett 50k in 3 weeks, I have been using 3:30/km as "goal" marathon pace. so my 20 miles (it ended up being 33k) should have been at 4:12/km (6:46/mi.) I did the first 16.5 kms with Heather at 6:57/mi., then the second half at 6:29 for a 6:43/mi. avg. (4:10.3/km). Then it got real - first 6 km's were surprisingly good, although it felt strange trying to run fast so far in - all b/w 3:16 and 3:23 - last 4 were progressively worse as I was getting close to my longest run ever, and eventually surpassing it - 3:27, 3:34 and the last 2 at 3:40. I certainly appreciated the race-specific demands this placed on me and trust I will be ready (or at least more ready than I was) to maintain that pace for 31 miles in 3 weeks! Hope you appreciate the LOOOONGG comment that accompanied the long run!Patrick Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018340056717339542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-13694054554246480212015-01-26T16:38:28.454-08:002015-01-26T16:38:28.454-08:00Pat- I' glad you have been enjoying them!

The workouts you've been sharing the last few weeks have been like gold for me; I've been so interested in running marathon-specific work, because they are so much more interesting than everything I've ever done. I've run 1k alternations twice and a portuguese surge once. I'm hoping to get after "The Rothlin" after a good night's sleep (and a good day's melt on the roads). Thanks again for sharing!Patrick Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018340056717339542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-18534249528220329972015-01-25T15:54:25.526-08:002015-01-25T15:54:25.526-08:00Thanks for the write up Nate.
