I recently made the decision that I was going to train for a marathon. I figured being in my early 30’s, things weren’t going to get any easier for me physically, so now was the time to force myself to run long distances for uh...fun.
A few hours before the BYU vs Utah game I went out for a training run and decided that I was going to push for a blazing (for me) 7:00 minute mile pace. I started off strong posting a quick 6:36 mile and the follow up was also under the seven minute mark at 6:50.
