Raw Food Diet and Running

Race Pacing

This morning I took part in a local race in Chiang Mai, however strictly speaking I was not racing, more pace setting!

If you have been following my blog you will know that I am mentoring Ray Martin, who has entered the New York Marathon.

Today was his first race ever!

Although I was wearing my own HRM and Garmin 405, we matched each other stride for stride so the splits are very similar to Ray's.

Our target race pace was 9 minute miles. We went off a little bit fast during the first two miles (my fault), but managed to stay on target.

Mile 5 was tough for Ray, but he pulled through and finished in a time of 54:19 (5.99 miles).

Averaging 9:04 min/mile pace over 6 miles after only three weeks of running is pretty good going.
