5 Mile Run + 3 Mile Walk = 8 Miles

Traveled 8 Miles in 1:43:10

Walked 1 mile in 16:00
Ran 5 Miles in 52:51
(1 mile 9:35)
(2 Miles 19:35) (10:00)
( 3 Miles 30:00) (10:25)
(4 Miles 40:53) (10:53)
(5 Miles 52:51) (11:58)
Walked 1 mile in 18:09
Walked 1 mile in 16:10

My thought here is if I want to run walk the Hartford Half Marathon, I need to maintain a 13:00 mile pace. They will shut you down if you can't keep up. So here I am just under it as I need an 8 mile time of 1:44 to stay on the 13:00 mile pace.

My 7 mile pace was 12.14.

Later this week, I may try a 9 mile jaunt with the run/walk better broken up. Maybe as follows:

Walk one mile, run 2, walk one, run 2, walk one, run 2.

We'll see.
