9 Miles in 1:22:30

Last hard run before Richmond Marathon on Saturday 11/10.  Nice run…felt really good, although I stopped a couple times on the way back.  Ran with CW who is really fast (6:30 miles) on shorter distances of 3 miles or so, but is not as fast on longer distances.  We started out with good pace of 9:20 for first mile, got to turn around point at 41:56, then I came back in 40:34 or so…I did not have my watch with me, so I may be a few seconds off, but CW finished in something like 1:23:31 (she had her watch), and I finished about a minute ahead…

 

RUN ANALYSIS:

9 miles in 1:22:30, 9:10 min/mile @ 6.55mph; Out and back splits out in 41:56 (9:19 min/mile @ 6.44mph) and back in 40:34 (9:01 min/mile @ 6.66mph)…nice negative splits…could probably have broken the 9 min barrier (total time 1:21:00) on this run if I didn’t stop.
