Tomorrow is my long run for the week – mostly easy miles but with a few harder ones as book ends (the “slightly slower than 10k pace” is meant to approximate lactate threshold pace, for those of you who know what that is. For those who don’t, I’ll do a post on that separately). The ones at the end (before the cool down) are a great opportunity to focus on mental toughness and maintaining good form when tired.

Tomorrow’s run:

2 miles easy pace

3 miles slightly slower than 10k pace

1 hour easy pace

3 miles slightly slower than 10k pace

2 miles easy pace

My easy pace is about 8:00-8:15, so this workout should be close to 17 miles for me.
