Not a lot faster, but this time I ran three laps of each 13-lap mile at the YMCA, walking the other 10 laps as fast as I could.
A week ago I tried this, but running two laps per 13, and achieved a pace of 12:08. Today the pace was 11:41 - no surprise. Every lap that I run instead of walk saves about 20 seconds. Evidently my running pace on that track is about 9 minutes/mile.
I felt great throughout, no complaints.
We're now thinking about a marathon at the end on January, and the longest run I've done since the Seattle marathon a month ago has been a modest 8 miles. Time to ramp up! Maybe 12 miles later this week, after some medical stuff at Mayo Clinic.
Splits: 11:53, 11:39, 11:38, 11:34, total 46:43, average pace 11:41.
