In fact, while I long stopped doing such a detailed prescribed workouts, I read yours for the wealth of knowledge (did I mention thanks for the BCAA? I think it helped me get through this week in great shape!), and do implement some of it into training, hoping to use more with time as I gain some base back, and simply to learn more and give advice to others (Larry loves all this stuff, but letting me guide him:)). <br />So, back to "why" 0 obviously, nobody but you would know, but personally, without being analytical, I think a minute and half just simply happens. The number you were shooting for could have been as if you had your half-marathon as a single goal. This for you was a bump to a marathon (which we all know is a bump to an ultra), so there is gotta be some bulk training you're doing not quite as the number would have you.<br />Ha...didn't I just said what you said, come to think about it? :)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-22731952588145618232010-01-24T02:50:53.012-08:002010-01-24T02:50:53.012-08:00I think you did great! It's possible you are ...I think you did great! It's possible you are overreacting, and like you said, the slower pace is just from how you've trained. It's also possible you've got a little bit of hypothyroidism going on- I read about Devon's observations about it on her blog. It's associated with loss of muscle mass and lower heart rates and is not uncommon among runners. It's an easy thing to get checked if you have any concerns.Drs.

That 1:49 was just due to bad weather and the fact that it's hard to keep steady just before the taper. You'll be fine at the next race.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-36792824321942422052010-01-22T17:44:48.095-08:002010-01-22T17:44:48.095-08:00I am sure most of you have left the room by now.
