Week 11, Day 1
Phase: Marathon
Workout: 40 to 50 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
So, here we go on the second half of the 20 week training plan for the Richmond Marathon on November 15th. I can’t believe 10 weeks of training are behind me already, and more to the point there are only 70 days of training left to make my next marathon my fastest. I sense things are going to get a lot tougher in the next few weeks!

This afternoon’s run was a pleasant one; temperature in the mid 80’s, fairly low humidity with a nice breeze. My pace was steady and just about made it into the “easy” zone according to Coach McMillan’s pace chart.

For the record:

Distance: 6.3 miles
Time: 47:11
Pace: 7:29 per mile

Speaking of the Richmond Marathon, I still remember the painful second half of last year’s race where things didn’t quite go as planned. I also remember reading the race report of Bill Carter who described his 2007 Richmond as the “Run Of His Life”.

Well, judging by the training Bill’s been putting in over the summer, he’s going to have another fantastic race at the Air Force Marathon later this month. If you’re looking for an inspirational running story, check out Bill’s latest post; it’s a great story and proves that hard work and determination really does pay off. Good luck in Dayton Bill!
