I am increasing my miles to get ready for the Indianapolis Marathon on October 20th. As a stepping stone, I am going to do the Anacortes Art Dash Half-marathon on July 28th.
After the last race, my feet and ankles were very sore and I had to reduce my miles for a few weeks. I got a new pair of Beasts, which help, but am still struggling a bit.
Today I ran 9 miles at a pace of 11:31 per mile. My average HR was 152. I was disappointed at the pace, since my training schedule called for a 10:36. I could of pushed harder, since 152 is where I target "easy" runs, but I am sore enough.
Today's run helped me understand what I will be able to do at Anacortes. I don't want to leave myself unable to continue my training for Indianapolis. So, I am targeting a 2:20 time for the 28th.
