6 miles in the afternoon. I did TOU 9 days ago, and I have another marathon in 18 days, so I am kind of in a limbo of what to do for training. I don't want to do super high mileage in case I am not fully recovered from TOU, and I don't want to take it super easy in case I won't be prepared for the Utah Marathon. I am hoping to get in a decent amount of miles over the next 10 days or so, then do a smaller taper.

Today I started out a little quick, then picked it up over the next 4 miles, then took mile 6 a little slower. I am wanting to train faster than I normally do so I can become a faster runner, but it's a fine line of training faster and killing myself. I will see what I can do.

Splits were 7:10, 6:40. 6:43, 6:52, 6:40, 7:23.

10 miles on treadmill after work. I got off work at 9:00 pm, but luckily I work at a gym, so it is pretty convenient to go running afterwards. 

I did 9 miles starting out at 8 mph then increased 0.1 mph every mile until I hit 8.7 mph. I stayed at that speed until I hit 9 miles. I then ran to the bathroom, and did 1 mile at 8.0 mph. 

This was a good run, I felt good and I didn't feel too tired while running.

10 miles on treadmill. I did 5 miles of this run with the treadmill at a 0.5 incline and .5 miles at a 1.0 incline. I held the pace a 8.0 mph for the entire run. The Utah Marathon has a lot of uphill, so I am trying to get some uphill training going in the short time I have. I figure the easiest way to do that is on a treadmill.
