We increased the milage once again after our 10 mile run from last week, this time we were going for 14 miles. This is the longest distance I have ran at one time so I am learning how my body reacts to it. The same will apply for the next few weeks as we move onto 15, 17, 18 and 20 miles over the next few weeks. These runs are become critical as I try to decide on a pace for the actual race.

Today a group of 3 of us (Glenn and another one of the regular guys) went out to the halfway point in 57 minutes flat. My final time was 1:54:07 with a final mile of 7:39. The average pace was 8:09 minute miles which is still within my range. Next week expect the 15 mile update where I would like to improve my average to 8 minute miles.
