I ran a pretty long tempo run yesterday morning - 10 total miles - 1 warm-up at 8:30 min/mile, 8 at long tempo pace 7:13 min/mile and a cool-down mile at 8:30 min/mile. I wanted to test things out a little and see if my feet would handle the stress. I must say that things went relatively well. Thus far, the issue has only manifested itself at about mile 12 or 13 of long run - that said, it was good to be going at a faster pace for a fair distance and not have any issues pop up.
One thing I have to watch is weight gain in the next little while. I have ticked up about 5 pounds over the Summer and need to take these off if I am going to run a good marathon in the Fall.
Hopefully, I can get back to training with consistent intensity and distance soon. For the past few weeks, my long runs have been pretty short (13 - 15 miles) and pretty slow pace-wise as a result of the injury. If it continues, it will be tough slogging come marathon day.
