Today I did a six mile tempo run. Why? Because my iPhone Smart Coach told me to. I've decided that the best strategy for me in training for this marathon might be to take it day by day and do the run it tells me to without looking ahead too much. I am thinking that this may keep me from being intimidated by the four months of training ahead of me.
After my run today, I took a look at my phone to see what was in store for tomorrow. It's another six mile run but at an easy pace.
A tempo run is a run that is faster in the middle but slow at the start and end. Bill ran with me, so I was more accountable to keep the quicker pace in the four miles in the middle. By the end of the fast part, I was ready to slow down! I don't do a lot of running where I really push the pace. I need to get used to that.
