The third week scheduled called for an 8 mile long run.  I took the 7 mile route and added a half mile out and back down fletcher road. As per the schedule I ran this using a walk run ratio of 3 min run and 30 second walk.  I was supposed to run at marathon pace + 2 minutes, but in the end I ran faster than that, which is not good.  Spent 21 percent of my time in the aerobic threshhold zone over 165.  So my average pace, including walk breaks was 12:11.  Considering that my overall marathon goal pace is 11:45 I was obviously moving a bit too fast since this is supposed to be an long slow easy run.
