I decided that tonight I should try a mid length run at near the pace I need to run at to hit my half marathon PR on the Winnipeg Police Service half marathon in a week and a half.
I ran the first hour without stopping at 7.5 mph before taking a 1 minute walk. From there I did add in a few one minute periods at 9 mph to push a bit harder at the end and to try and finish strong.
In the end I did 10 miles in 78:56 @ 1% incline – I felt good during the run without any issues. I am certainly where I need to be cardio wise to try and beat my half marathon PR but it will take some more outdoor running before I can be sure.
Still – feeling confident that I will do well and considering the winter we are coming out of that is still a very good place to be.
