McMillan Custom Marathon Plan: Week 6 Day 3

Week 6, Day 3
Phase: Pre-Marathon
Workout: 50 to 70 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance

Nice strong 70 minute run in the heat this afternoon. Felt good although I suspect I was working slightly harder than the plan called for. I averaged 7:35 per mile pace and covered just over 9 miles.
