Week 2 of Marathon Training Done

December 6th, 2008 by Shane Kenny | Filed under Running.

Today was long run day.  It was 7 miles and the longest single run that I have ever done in my life.  I was lucky to have 3 other people running with me for today’s run.  (There was was supposed to be 4 others but one of them backed out at 1:20 am.)  We set out about 8:00 in 27 degree weather.  The run really was not too bad.  Here are our times:

  • Me: 1:05:15 (9:19 per mile average)
  • JR & Steph: 1:09:00 (9:51 per mile average)
  • Todd: 1:18:40 (11:14 per mile average)

Everyone did a great job to finish the run and we all did it in a faster time that we had expected.  I guess those weekday runs are helping with that.  Next week is *only* a 5 miler.  Should be a breeze.  I have updated the training schedule with my progess to-date.
