Building Mileage for Black Warrior 50K

Started adding mileage for Black Warrior 50K

16 mile long run

Managed an 8:48 pace on the first 8 miles with Dave.

Here are the numbers. 29F degrees, 8:35, 8:32, 8:40,
2 miles =17:24, 9:04, 9:00, 9:07, 1:32, 8:15,
8:06, 8:07, 8:05, 8:08, 8:08, 8:05, 7:58, 2:16:51

Adjusted for 1:32 break 2:15:19 - 8:27 pace

I managed an 8:33 pace overall even counting a 1:32 minute break.

Running with Dave early helped me manage a real consistent pace and a strong finish.
