2009 NYC Marathon Long Training Run 4
This coming weekend was again free of any races, so I could run more miles. My goal was over 50 miles. I decided to do 2 long runs this week. The weather was not the best, 68°. I imagine it will still get worse. I had to push my pace, as it was after 9 o’clock. When I start so late, it doesn’t give me enough time to cool down after the run. I didn’t feel any pain at the beginning. I took the shirt off after several miles, as I started feeling chaffing under arm pits. I stopped for a water break at the Sunrise highway end of the Bethpage park. My split time on the 14.5 miles was 52 min. The last 2 miles of the run I was shivering, probably due to high heat. The total time was 1:49.
