15 miler


GO! St. Louis Marathon is in 30 days, so I went out for a 15 miler trying to hold MGP (marathon goal pace.) I'm not really sure what my marathon goal is, I am trying to be conservative. 8:40/mi pace would be around a 3:47 marathon, I would be plenty happy with that. So today's goal was to hold 8:40/mi pace, finishing in 2:10. 5 mile splits below...as you can see I exceeded my goal. I need to get a few more 15-20 milers in and we should be good to go!

I ate a bag of Powerbar Gel Blast - Cola Flavor w. Caffeine during my run...AWESOME!!! I highly recommend these. I am not a huge fan of gels, so these are a good alternative.

Mile 1-5 : 43:39 (8:43/mi)
Mile 5-10: 41:23 (8:16/mi)
Mile 10-15: 42:02 (8:24/mi)
Total: 2:07:05 (8:27/mi)
