I slayed my workout today.
16 miles. Average (not including 2 breaks) pace 9min. 11sec.- I'm on target to break 4 hours.
The workout was "pace" so I was supposed to start a bit slower than goal pace and speed up to it roughly half way through the run. ALL summer I have been trying to break 8 minute miles and today I did it. For mile 13 I clocked 8:01, then shattered 8 minutes in the last 3 miles-
It does get easier, you do get stronger, you do get better but it is not effortless.
