Have I learned nothing from the mystic runners? Anyway, it was 7 mile fartlek, which is my longest run in weeks, and which gave me a stitch for the last 3 miles. None of this is all that interesting or well-written so here’s a bit more on the completely useless 2007 Austin Marathon average pace data from the other day. Andre asked, so are the averages cumulative or specific to that interval? in other words, when i see “21m split avg”, does that mean the pace from mile 0 to mile 21? or the pace from mile 17 to mile 21? if it’s the former, that slow down in the last 5 miles is pretty extreme.
