South Platte Pkwy - 10:00 A.M.
40s, clear, some snow on the path
mind/body - ready to go!
Hard effort
Prescribed: 1.30 flat/paved long run, easy effort
Actual: 13 myles - 1.27:49 - avg. 6:45 (middle 10K 37:30 avg. 6:02)
I missed out on a key workout earlier in the week so I incorporated here today. My intention on the 10K effort was not to go all out but more of an effort approaching Lactate Threshold (LT). I started easy @ 6:08 pace and hovered around there until the last mile which was 5:50 - very comfortable at 6:08 but 5:50 is more along the lines of LT.
I am ready to go - thanks to Paul. I'm off to Phoenix tomorrow for a long work week and acclimate.

Scott although you are probably in taper mode for PF Chang’s you are welcome to join our trail running group (which includes some hardrockers) for a early Wednesday morning trail run in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. We usually have 15 to 20 show up every Wednesday. Good Luck in the Marathon
good luck scott... have a great race... also bring back warm weather...love
How close is Phoenix Mountain Preserve to the JW Marriott in Scottsdale?
Hi Scott, if you are staying at the JW Marriott / Camelback Inn in Scottsdale the Phoenix Mountain Preserve is very close. Just down the street off Lincoln. If interested feel free to contact me. I also live close so I could pick you up on the way over. Kevin Higgins ultrahigg@yahoo.com
Best of luck Scott. You've shown some real dedication in hitting the roads the way you have in building up for this race. 2:3X looks to be a very real proposition. Go get it!
