This past weekend I did my half marathon "race simulation" run whereby I go out and run 8 miles at race pace. It. Went. Awesome. !!
I am completely confident that I can stick with my 8:30 goal pace. I do have another goal though, to finish sub 1:50, which technically will require an 8:23 average pace. So, my plan is to go out at an 8:25 for the first 8-9 miles, then try to kick it up a notch, maybe 8:20 for a couple miles and then for the last 1.1 just kill it at an 8:00. I know, ambitious, and yes things can happen on race day that you don't plan for. But, this is the plan and I can't wait to execute it. I'll be sure to post the results, good or bad! ;)
