April has been a training and building month preparing for the Flying Pig Half Marathon.
During the weeks, I had two tempo runs offset with two interval runs. Of the tempo runs, one was slow (due to extreme wind), one was in the zone. Of the Interval runs, both were 400m intervals with goals of 1:55 – 1:58 per interval (that translates to a 7:43 – 7:55 pace). Out of 19 interval workbouts, 1 was above 1:58 (1:58.6… so close) and 16 were faster than 1:55. Also throughout the month, there were 3 half-marathon pace runs, which I was trying to keep to 7:58 – 8:13 (targeting a pace of 8:05) and all were within the range.
Month plan was 111.5 miles, I ran 117.5 miles.
Cheers!
