Duration: 1:21:59
Pace: 13:38/mile
Shoes: Nike Structure Triax+ 12
Weather: Mostly sunny, 17C, 64% humidity
I survived my first long run thus completed my first week of training!
The first 2 miles was tough. I kept thinking of the miles that I have yet to cover. My legs felt really heavy.
Things started looking up after I covered 3.5 miles. When I hit mile 4, I felt like a load has just been lifted off my shoulders and I picked up my pace a bit.
My strategy for the first 2 miles: run 1 mile, walk 1 minute. For the last 4 miles: run 5 minutes, walk 1 minute.
I was pretty decked up with gadgets during this run: garmin 305, interval timer watch, and iPod. I also brought along a water bottle filled with 16oz of gatorade and took a gulp after every mile.
Maybe I should have ran more and walked less, I don't know. I think I just wanted to complete the 6 miles and end up feeling pretty good, which I did. My legs survived the pounding, no extraordinary pain of any sort.
