October 2010 Running Recap

by Bryan on 11/19/2010 at 1:43 PM in Health and Fitness

Another month, and another running recap severely overdue. Life goes on. October was an exciting month for me, as Julie, Sam, and I took a trip to Colorado where I completed my 2nd half marathon—the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Denver Half Marathon, and got a lot of nice running in while I was there (besides the race). October also brought an end (mostly) to the extremely warm/hot days of August and September.

Again, since this report is so late, here are the details from the month:

• Total Miles: 156.4 miles
• Total Time: 24:11:07
• Average Pace: 9:17/mile

Additional Notes

In the month of October I ran 24 out of 31 days, racking up a 3rd straight 150+ mile month, and my 4th overall. October was also the 15th consecutive month of 100+ miles.

As I mentioned earlier, I ran one race in October, my 2nd half marathon, which I finished in 1:58:07. Using a conversion tool I found online (I’ll add link later), this time converts to a 1:52:30 half marathon at sea level.

Here’s how the miles stacked up for the month:

• Easy: 101.2
• Tempo: 12*
• Intervals: 0
• Fartleks: 6
• Long: 24
• Race: 13.2 (so I didn’t run perfect tangents)
• Shortest Run: 3
• Longest Run: 14
• Max Elevation: 7,171 ft. (in Salida, CO)

* The tempo miles listed are the actual miles run at tempo pace, and no longer include warm up/warm down miles. Those miles are now included with the easy miles.
