Week 1 Long Run




It was great to meet Ashley, Greg, and Michelle at the week 1 start of training for the Oklahoma City Marathon. It seemed to be quite chilly out, but once we all got moving the cold didn't seem to be as much of a factor. Ashley was off to run the jingle bell run (Hope ya had a blast!). So Greg, Michelle, Bobby and Sandra went out to represent Sole Train. The pace range for the group is between 13-14 minute mile average. We did quite well at maintaining that and keeping it toward the upper end of that range today. Michelle shared that the furthest she has run to date is a 5K. Greg shared that his longest run to date is the Tulsa Run 15K this past October. Members of Sole Train were a bit nervous about heading out for a "short" 6 miles, but they got it done with ease and with styles. Here was our group's splits per Sandra's Garmin.

Mile 0-1: 13:41
Mile 1-2: 13:44
Mile 2-3: 13:45
Mile 3-4: 13:51
Mile 4-5: 13:57
Mile 5-6: 13:17
Mile 6-6.5: 14:26

Average Pace over the entire distance (even counting waiting for lights and water stops): 13:45

Congratulations go out to Sole Team members Charles & Ashely for their strong finishes at the Jingle Bell Run!! Way to go!
