I'm starting to think I'm destined to run 11:30 minutes miles forever
and ever the end Amen.
My last 3 out of 4 races I've run almost exactly 11:30 minute miles. It doesn't matter the distance.
One of them was RNR Savannah, then the Beer Run a few weeks ago, and finally Cooper River this weekend.
3 totally different races and the same exact pace.
I know I can run faster. I know I can. It is totally mental.
Re: I'm starting to think I'm destined to run 11:30 minutes miles forever
I did just find a 10k time of my from last year that was closer to 10:30 second miles and earlier this year I ran a marathon relay where my laps were all under 10 minute miles.
I CAN RUN FASTER but I need to mentally commit I guess.
Kelly Monaghan's 5K - 5/15/11 - 3rd Place in AG
Walk the Talk 5K - 5/18/11 - 31:12 PR
Ridley Run 3.1 - 4/14/12 - 1st race of the year, 32:45
I do it sometimes on the treadmill and can do it there but for whatever reason I'm struggling to do it outside.
It is mental. I'm hoping that confessing my weakness here I can fix it

Ahhh, I do use Runkeeper but didn't know it has this capability. Awesome. I'll totally try it on my next run.
Kind of off topic, but how was this race? My friend convinced me to run it with her, so we registered this past weekend. Did you enjoy it? I've always wanted to go to Savannah, so I'm excited.

I almost always run hills. I'm not even sure I can find a route locally that isn't pretty hilly.
I'm definitely getting my hill training in but I'm slooowwww.
The hills are much of the reason why I just go with perceived effort rather than trying to hit a specific pace. My street has like the only big hill in Indiana and I do well to crack 10:00 pace going up it, but I can hit 7:XX going back down.

I'm like that too - I can only break 9:00 on less than 7 miles...I think 9:xx is my happy place on any distance over 7 miles and I will run that forever and ever, even when I'm 75!!!!!
