- run 8.73 km in 49:24
first ~3 km with gf in ~5:40 and didn't come down too much from that after she peeled off to go home. trying to take a page from adarq's book and build up very light mileage (5:30-5:45/km) in the heat. 8.7 obviously isn't that far but easy does it.
- stretch
nice

ya man, i just "figure out how to survive". do what i need to in order to hit my time goal, ie 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 hours etc. whatever it is, just focus on "survival", and that gets me into the right pace/mindset. I don't focus on mileage, even though I list it. all of these sessions are "time based". It helps alot because, pace doesn't even matter anymore. If I hit 2 hours going 9:XX vs 8:XX vs 10:XX, it's still 2 hours etc. Really helps mentally.
occasionally you have to drop the hammer speed wise in the heat, but that can be done interval style w/ big rest etc, biggest thing there is just hitting some hard paces for a decent amount of time. So it's alot easier when it's say, 1 mile hard, 1 mile super ez, 1 mile hard, 1 mile super ez, 1 mile hard, cool down etc.
