6 More Miles

Today we ran the 6 miles we were supposed to run yesterday, but didn’t due to the time we got to start our run yesterday. Today’s run went really well. We both felt amazing throughout the run, and we were able to finish it just a little bit faster than we did last week. For today’s run I kept track of our splits again. Here are the splits:

Mile 1: 11:29.75
Mile 2: 11:14.08
Mile 3: 10:53.73
Mile 4: 10:53.88
Mile 5: 11:31.26
Mile 6: 10:07.59

Once again we had a pretty strong finish and two really consistent miles (miles 3 and 4) for this run. We are trying to be more consistent runners throughout our runs.

Today’s run was 6 miles and we wish we would have been able to run them yesterday when it was cooler, but we had to be flexible with our training schedule. Being flexible during your training is very important! We started today’s run around 5:30 pm, still a little later than we would have liked, but it was too hot to get out there sooner. It was definitely warmer than yesterday. By the time we started our run, the sun was starting to go down, and was pretty much behind the trees after the first 2 miles of our run. This made the 6 miles much easier to run. It was around 85 degrees with the humidity around 80% when we left for our run.

We finished our 6 mile run in 66:10, which is an 11:01 pace per mile. It was our fastest 6 miles by 5 seconds a mile.

Another great run!
