New Run Record

Its official…I am CERTIFIABLE!! I ran 20 miles today…ON A TREADMILL!!! Then swam 1500 meters.  This ties my run record.  Thank goodness I don’t have anymore long runs for 2 weeks!!

Run Time - 2:48:28

Avg. Speed - 8:25 per mile

Incline - 1%

I would really like to see my average speed drop to 8:15 or 8:00, I’m just not sure that is gonna happen while I train for Ironman.  My goal speed for the Ironman is a  10 minutes per mile, or about a 4hr 25min marathon.  Worst case scenario - 11 minutes per mile, or about 4hr 50min marathon.

Happy Training
