I decided I wanted to run for 2 hours today. I did a 3.5 mile warm up then met Clay at Joe Walker MS and he took me on a 9 mile course up and down in the hills. We ended at his house and I had to run 4 miles home. Thankfully, Clay gave me a package of Shot Blocks because all I took with me was water.
The run ended up being 16.5 miles and total time was 2:09:06 (average pace 7:50). The middle 8 miles averaged around 7:30 pace with the last mile just under 7 minutes (6:56), then .5 mile cool down to the house.
The legs need to get used to the pounding of more than 2 hours of running. I wasn't concerned about the pace, just getting the time in.
