Well, I finally ran a timed mile on Tuesday, in 11:22. I’m fairly pleased with it. I’ve never tried to run one for speed so I’ve never finished a mile in less than 12 minutes.
I also timed how fast I run during my long runs, which came out to around 13:14 for a mile. It’s a lot slower than I thought it was. I figured I’d be dropping below 5 mph, especially towards the end, but I was thinking more along the lines of 12:30 miles, not 13+ =/
I need to come up with a new running schedule to mix in speed training rather than just long runs. It’s just that 3+ mile jogs are so relaxing that I’m never inclined to pick up the pace for a shorter run. I’d like to get in under 11 minutes when we do timed miles again at the start of the spring [rugby] season, which is in February.
