Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Trainer 1 Miles	Trainer 2 Miles	Racer Miles	Total Distance
6.52	0.50	0.00	1.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	8.02

For the most part an easy 8 mile run at 6:57 average pace. After 4 miles Sasha wanted to do a hard mile again like last Monday. He let me pace and he checked splits but again did not call them out. I tried to just run by feel. I felt slower today than last Monday and was very surprised at our time when Sasha told me at the end. I guessed we were a little slower than last week. Last week we did a 5:32 and I thought we were at about 5:35-38 today. However, we did a 5:17 for the mile this morning. I did not expect that at all. At the end Sasha wanted to make sure we beat 7:00 pace so we ran the last 1/2 at sub 6:00 pace with the last 1/4 in 1:26. Feeling pretty decent with the drop in mileage.

Nice mile at 5:17 that's a great split your really getting stronger. What do you feel now in your training that

you could run a marathon in doing your absolute best?

I really need to practice running more threshold miles in my running to get used to running in the 5 minute mile range.
