Just For Fun Marathon.
Not sure why I did this. I did not feel good from
the start. I did a out and back course and hit 13.1
miles and had to run the 13.1 to get back home. I
was at 135:30 at the half way point. I had 2 gels
and 1 pack of GU Chomps and 34 oz of water. Not
really enough for the distance. I wore my bright
orange Boston Marathon jacket since today was
opening day of Deer Hunting gun season. I was very
warm with the jacket on and sweated a lot. I finally
took it off at 20 miles. I really hit the wall from
miles 20-26 even though I kept the pace about the
same the effort was much much harder.
Here is my splits:
Mile-Pace-HR
1-7:34-137
2-7:20-146
3-7:19-149
4-7:15-150
5-7:15-152
6-7:12-153
7-7:06-154
8-7:19-155
9-7:13-155
10-7:22-154
11-7:12-152
12-7:17-154
13-7:16-154
14-6:56-152
15-7:01-153
16-7:11-153
17-7:09-153
18-6:48-157
19-7:02-156
20-7:00-157
21-7:25-157
22-6:52-158
23-6:59-159
24-7:07-157
25-7:03-158
26-7:04-159
.2-7:11-159(1:27)
Slowest Mile 1 7:34
Fastest Mile 18 6:48
Looking at these numbers I see at miles 18-26 is
when the HR jumped up to the upper 150's. I also
noticed I had to push much harder to hold the pace.
I guess this is typical due to fatigue and lack
of hydration.

Helluva a "training run." And you negative split it.
So ... some questions if I may? What is your next goal marathon? And I have only been watching casually but you seem to be doing a lot of stuff just under seven minute pace - right?
Thanks GZ!
I'm doing Houston Marathon. Jan. 17 2010. Not sure if I will PR but shooting for 2:50. That's 6:30 pace. I figure if I can run 6:50-7:15 in training runs thats not out of the question. Right??
Yes most of my training runs as of late have been just under 7 minute pace and don't feel that hard. My HR is in the upper 140's at that pace. On race day I imagine my HR would be in the mid to upper 150's for 6:30 pace. I don't think that is too high. Any suggestions or input is welomed. More miles? Less miles? Track? Hills? Easy recovery days? I have no schedule I just wing it.

Oh - not sure what to suggest ... I think if I were to ever suggest specifics to a person / athlete - I'd need to know a lot of their specifics. I know you have put a lot of that on this blog, but I have not tracked it like that.
We are all an experiment of one. I am watching yours even more now.
Thanks GZ, If you ever think of any suggestions please feel free to post.
