Ahh marathon recovery workouts, when long run paces become tempo paces, and they feel like it :) No matter how you slice it or what pace it is at I am finding an 8 mile tempo effort is a long one. Today went better than I anticipated, last night I could barely run 9 minute pace so I wasn't too optimistic about running 8 miles under 7. Thankfully the legs seemed ok and the paces weren't unbearable. But they definitely aren't as easy as they would have been a few weeks before Boston!
I had company for the first two and at least had some people to watch ahead of me for the next three but the last three were solo.
6:38.61
6:42.95
6:42.69
6:38.99
6:43.42
6:40.06
6:18.49
6:17.76
And with that I actually achieved two workouts this week :) We'll see how that recovery run tomorrow goes!

Great to see you coming back after Boston. Matt and I did our longest run after Boston this weekend. It was about 15 miles (that's 25k?) including our local Mt Coot-tha. The long road to Boston Revenge 2014 has begun.
