Recent Long Run Comparisons

I'm still on a high from Saturday's 14 miler.  Setting a half marathon PR within this training run really got me thinking about my long runs.  I pulled up some of my past runs on my garmin and was excited to see the paces.  Here's my past 4 weeks of Saturday Long Runs, with this past week's on the left and jumping back a week as you go to the right:

Distance	14.00 mi	10.07 mi	11.66 mi	8.35 mi
Time	02:39:01	02:05:09	02:22:39	01:52:23
Avg Pace	11:21 min/mi	12:25 min/mi	12:13 min/mi	13:27 min/mi
Calories	1,970 C	1,292 C	1,530 C	1,079 C

I can't even believe the difference in average pace from the past 3 weeks to this past week's 14 miler.   An entire minute per mile faster!  I can't believe it :)

And 1900 calories burned!  Holy Moly!  What a way to start your day :)

And yes, that 11.66 day should have been my first 12 miler - it's the one day I was not a slave to my garmin and didn't run around the block to finish the mile out.  Oh well, it happens.
