17 miles with 8 @ MP

After an 8 mile plod yesterday with some strides thrown today was the first run with a marathon pace (MP) segment.

I do these tempos by heart rate now without using the lap pace feature so I am always nervous about what pace the first tempo mile will be. Fortunately it turned out to be 6:30 so I knew it would be a good day. The next five miles were all around 6:43 pace and then unexpectedly the pace improved to 6:30 for the last two tempo miles. The last couple of miles felt strong as well so a good day at the office.
