recent traning runs
HiIn the last few weeks I had some good training runs, so I decided to blog them. The first one was on the 11th, 4 miles before the group run and then 11 miles with the group. Total time 2:03, or 8:12 average pace. The week after was 3+9+3=15 again a 15 miles, but with wo breaks. Time was about the same, maybe a minute faster. What's nice is that the middle part of the group run (4 miles on the first week, 3 miles on the second) was going at about 7:20-7:30 per mile ! gee, that's a new territory for me, going that fast for that long and without a downhill.
Today Bruce, George and I ran PG&E to the bench. We started slow and kept a steady pace, sometimes walking the steepest slopes. We made it to the top in 47:20 minutes ! had a short rest and zoomed down through high middows and rouge valley. Alltogether 1:26:15 without the rest.
If I did not misuse the map calculator, then what we did is 9.4 miles total, 1715 feet climb.
It comes out as 4.2 miles up (& down) on the PG&E trail to the bench in 47:15 minutes,
then 5.2 miles down via Upper Middow and Rouge Valley in 39 minutes. George's GPS
distance shows 9 miles and if I recall something like 7:30, 7:33, 7:33, 7:57 and 7:57 for
the last five miles (downhill and then flat). Going up was more like 12 minutes per mile :-)
It was a very nice run with a strong finish. We plan to go again.

That's awesome Arnon! Congratulations on the consistent improvement. Here comes Boston!
Arnon is scary-fast now. We're going to have to get him on a bike first for several tens of miles to tire him out and THEN I'll be able to run with him.
