Long Run - 32k - with Gayle Stuebing

I went out for a long run today from Gibbons Park through the trail system through Springbank Park, out to Southdale and Boler Roads, back to Gibbons Park and then did about 4 miles up through UWO and back. Total 32k. A bunch of short stops, but our pace was healthy the whole way. Here are our splits:

5:50
5:48
5:41
5:35
5:34
5:37
5:27
5:29
5:23
5:38
5:52
5:58
5:52
5:39
5:22
5:29
5:45
5:52
5:39
5:35
5:40
5:37
5:33
5:42
5:42
5:44
5:41
5:39
5:50
5:51
5:47
5:50

Total time for 32k was 3:01:29 for an average pace of 5:41 per kilometre. At that pace, we'd finish the marathon in around 3:58. But (a) we were not pushing the pace whatsoever and (b) we haven't had a couple of weeks of taper to let the bodies heal. I think at 3:50 is definitely do-able!
