The final long run was 17 miles. After the first two uphill miles I settled into 7:40 pace with no effort and knew I was having a good day. The second half is supposed to be at 7:30 pace but I ended up ticking off 7:10 miles without much apparent effort (although the heart rate of 140 suggests some effort.) So 17 miles @ 7:32 pace average. The fastest long run of the marathon plan and a nice way to conclude the proper training phase as the taper kicks in in earnest now.
So there we have it. Four months of training in one image. Four months of running every day and at least 60 miles per week. Really not sure about this planned rest day tomorrow!
