It’s very gratifying and motivating to look back at my running log and my blog posts to see how far I’ve come. For the past month, my standard run has been 7 miles. I do it Tue-Fri and I can truly say that it’s an easy 7.
In looking at my logs, 6 months ago, 7 miles was my long run. My normal runs were 5 miles at around a 10:40 min/mile pace. Today, I do my 7 mile runs at around a 9:45 min/mile pace. Almost a full minute faster.
Over the last month I have noticed that my easy runs are actually getting faster. The speedwork I’ve been doing and the 5K races I’ve been running have definitely been having a positive impact.
I signed up for another 5K this Saturday. I will be going for my sub-25 minute time.
