16 mile run in Lawerance Kansas the home of the University of Kansas Jayhawks. This weekends route was two seperate smaller loops one being around campus and a lot of hills then back past the starting location and over to the Kansas river gravel/dirt trail on the levees for the final 6 miles. On these 6 miles we started a fartlick type workout with 3 minutes on at aproximately 10K pace then equal rest. I was not feeling it the first 3 repeats so those were at 6:30 pace and I didn't do the easy part so it was more like 3 goal pace miles. The final 3 reps I decided I would make myself step it up and stick with the group which I did at about 6 min/mi pace on those repeats. The further we went the better I felt. Overall time for the run was 1:59:+ change. One more hard week of training and then it will be time to start backing off the mileage. Overall I am standing at 448.7 miles of training in this marathon cycle which is 79 miles more than last years cycle.
