Another 50 mile week in the books for 2020. I capped that off with a 15 mile long run at 7:41 pace which was my fastest long run over a half marathon distance and my third fastest long run over 10 miles. Best part was that it was mostly easy effort.
I did stop during the run more often then usual (4 times)… once to pee at about 3 miles. Once to drink some Gatorade I had dropped off on my way to the trail at about 6.5 miles. Again to finish the Gatorade at about 8.5 miles. Lastly, for some additional bathroom issues at mile 10.5 which might be partially attributable to the Gatorade. I never usually fuel during runs so I don't know if my stomach issues were due to just not being used to the Gatorade or if it was something I ate the night before.
Otherwise, I ran my first mile at 8:09 and every other mile under 8:00 with the fastest stretch being mile 9-13 (7:28, 7:38, 7:31, 7:29, 7:32). Averaged 145 HR for the run and the pace felt relaxed so I either had a great day or I'm making some progress (or both).
On the less positive side, my hip is bugging me the day after. Hurt even walking this morning. It relaxed a bit after a while and after I took some Ibuprofen but it's a bit worrisome. We'll see how its feeling tomorrow after a day off.
