Although this was my best 5 miler in a long time, my goal was sub 47, and I am disappointed at my lack of conditioning. My split on the way back was longer because I walked a little during the 4th mile....I guess the pace was too strong to maintain. If I really intend to hit a sub 2 at the RnR half in 11 weeks, then my time at 5 miles would need to be closer to 41:30 mins according to http://www.runningforfitness.org/calc/rp.php?metres=21100&hr=1&min=55&sec=0&age=39&gender=M&Submit=Calculate I am a long way off.
RUN ANALYSIS
It was rainy and in the low 70's.
5 miles in 47:39 (9:32 pace at 6.30 mph)
Out in 23:43 (9:29 pace at 6.32 mph)
Back in 23:56 (9:32 pace at 6.27 mph) -- return trip was weak.
Mile by mile (9:43, 9:19, 9:17, 9:58, 9:22) -- mile #4 was weak.
UPCOMING RUNS:
5 miles on Friday…try again to break 47.
