Treasure Valley park. Im still not sure what I realistically should have as my goal marathon pace so I just figured 6:30 would work.1 mile warm up then got right into the workout. 3x2mile @ MP with .5 jog in between.
1 - 6:18avg(6:18,6:18) Felt pretty comfortable on this set
2 - 6:25avg(6:19, 6:30) A little more forced but still felt good
3 - 6:18avg(6:22, 6:14) uphill here so I had to push to keep an even pace 3.5mile cool down. All in all not a bad workout. 6:30 might be a little much for the whole marathon but I think Ill stick with that as the goal. On another positive note, no ab/groin issues. Its seems like if I go to long without running when I start again I would have a couple weeks of grief. Not so(yet) this time.
