20-mile long run including some marathon pace pick ups. I ran one hour steady covering 8.8 miles (6:49 pace), then went straight into a fartlek of 5 x 3' at marathon pace with 3' easy. I ended up running the MP section a few seconds faster (~5:40-5:48). After the final set, which put me at 90 minutes of running, I ran the remainder of the workout (6.5 miles at 6:22 pace) steady to complete 20 miles. It was a good long run to end another successful week of training for Berlin.
I expect the next couple weeks of running to be a challenge. I'll work 12-hour night shifts (9pm - 9am) for the next 2 weeks. It'll be tough getting the body adjusted to sleeping during the day. It looks as though I may have to get in the runs before work and after a long 12-hour shift.
