Another day, another run logged — and this one felt surprisingly smooth. After wrapping up a 48-mile week yesterday with a tough 16-miler, I wasn’t sure how the legs would respond. But today’s 9.04 miles clicked into rhythm at an 8:37 per mile average pace with an average heart rate of 135 bpm.
What’s encouraging is not just the distance, but how the effort felt: controlled, steady, and right where it should be for marathon training. These kinds of runs don’t always look flashy, but they’re the foundation of endurance. You stack enough of them together and race day feels completely different.
If you’ve ever trained through heavy legs, you know how important it is to stay patient and trust the process. One day it’s hard, the next day your body surprises you. That’s what today felt like — a quiet reminder that consistency really is the secret weapon.
📊 Run Stats:
• Distance: 9.04 miles
• Time: 1:17:51
• Average Pace: 8:37 per mile
• Average Heart Rate: 135 bpm
• Calories Burned: 1,117
This is all part of the bigger journey toward marathon prep. I’m documenting the ups, downs, and everything in between — so if you’re grinding toward a race yourself, hopefully this gives you a little extra motivation to lace up and keep going.
Thanks for following along on this training block. Let’s see where the miles take us.
