Run Log: Run: 12.0 mi - Week: 25.0 mi - Total: 121.9 mi
This week's long run of 12 miles was something else. I didn't do any warm up ahead of time, and instead just eased into my pace, as can be seen from the times on the first few miles. What really surprised me when I saw the data, though, is how much I was able to increase my pace toward the end. Since I'd never run more than 10 miles, it was awesome to see that I ran those last two miles at sub-11:00 paces. Here are the splits:
| Mile 1 - 12:21 | Mile 7 - 11:14 |
| Mile 2 - 11:42 | Mile 8 - 11:13 |
| Mile 3 - 12:02 | Mile 9 - 11:29 |
| Mile 4 - 11:44 | Mile 10 - 11:12 |
| Mile 5 - 11:57 | Mile 11 - 10:51 |
| Mile 6 - 11:44 | Mile 12 - 10:37 |
| First half - 1:11:30 | Second half - 1:06:35 |
I tried out the Indian Creek trail, which runs through Overland Park and Leawood, even connecting to the Missouri side. If you're from the KC area, I'd highly recommend it for running. There are some wonderfully secluded wooded areas, which I wasn't expecting given its proximity to 435.
If you want to read about the most interesting part of today's run, though, you'll have to head over to my regular blog.
