This was a training run for the One City Marathon and my first event for 2017. I went in with a very specific set of paces I wanted to hit for every mile with the goal of a significant negative split. This is a challenging course and I was told that it would be difficult to hit those paces with the variety of hills and terrain we would encounter on the course, but I was confident I could hit them all and I did!
Mile: Pace:
1 8:13
2 8:10
3 7:55
4 7:54
5 7:43
6 7:42

8 7:24
9 7:14
10 7:12

I'm feeling very confident about the One City Marathon in April!
