I'm hoping for another solid effort this weekend at Lapham Peak. 2 years ago, I ran 3:37. Last year, in some hotter temperatures (and on worse training, I think), I ran 3:50. I'd really like to be able to run 3:35. Lapham Peak is a 4-loop course, so a 3:35 means sub-54 minute laps. Here are the splits from my 3:37 run:
57:19, 53:03, 52:22, 54:43
And, my 3:50:
53:11, 53:36, 59:16, 64:22
Let's make it happen this week! Temperatures look like they'll be friendly, and my legs feel decent. I'm not sure I feel as fresh as I did for Marquette, but I am a much better climber this year compared to ever before, thanks to Devils Lake and Marquette. In fact, yesterday I ran 13 miles on the Glacial Trail course and only walked up one hill. Those smaller (relatively speaking) hills just seem easier! So, Lapham will be a good challenge...how many of the bigger hills can I cover at a faster pace?
Saturday, 8 AM.
