Race: SLC Marathon (26.2 Miles) 02:54:17
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
0.0026.2026.20

Ran the SLC marathon course today as a nice training run, turned into fast tempo run. Didn't taper this week, didn't carbo load, didn't really prepare in any way to run this race this week.  Just went out to have a good long run.

Ran into Skip at the start, who was running the half, so decided to hang with him until the split.  Wasn't really paying attention to the pace or heart rate at this point other than to notice that I wasn't near my 160 bbm I kept at St. George for those first miles.  So could have picked up the pace there a bit.  I didn't stay on top of fluid or nutrition as much as I should, as I seemed to have hit the wall around 20 when I slowed down around the same effort level.  Need to figure out how to maintain a more level energy intake.  

Looking at my finish time I could have taken 10th overall with this effort.  Now I'm hoping to get into St. George and continue to build this year and see what an honest effort actually looks like.  I've noticed over the last several months a significant decrease in heart rate for same pace improvement.  Not sure what triggered this jump in efficiency, may just more miles, certainly not consistency.  Still missing too many days a week running. But very happy with this outing.  Set a PR over St. George by about 2:30, which is also a plus.
