A Perfect Training Run

My final long run of Boston training went exceptionally well. The plan was to complete 8 laps of the 2.8 mile French Creek Reservation loop for a total of 22.4 miles. As far as pace goes, I wanted to be in the ballpark of 7:00-7:10 min/mile (roughly 19:49/lap).

Lap Time Pace
1 20:03 7:09
2 19:25 6:56
3 19:44 7:03
4 19:41 7:02
5 19:27 6:57
6 19:17 6:53
7 19:55 7:07
8 19:17 6:53

Total run time of 2:36:50 (7:00 min/mile average pace). No trouble mentally or physically throughout, not even a slight burn in the legs. Wrapped things up just shy of 9AM feeling very happy having wrapped up a 71.4 mile week. I'll run 2-3 10-milers this week along with some speedwork on the track.
