PRP

PRP - Projected Race Pace. Along with more strength training, Sunday long runs, and 3 (instead of 1) 20-plus-milers, PRP runs are new to my training regime. Since I'm shooting for a 4 hr marathon, my projected race pace is about 9 minutes per mile. That seems a little slow, but if I'm going to last 26.2, I need a sustainable pace. So, today's 6.2 miler was a PRP run. I measured my splits which were approx 1 mi each, here's the pace: 8:39, 8:25, 9:09, 9:04, 8:41, 8:26. It was kinda hard to dial in the pace. I'll have to work on that. Tomorrow's run is 8 miles easy.
