Early Running Journal: 8 miles for Jamen

September 12, 2010 Leave a Comment

Originally posted in September 2010 when I was a new runner doing intervals with Team in Training. These old posts are a great insight into my early running mentality. 


In the beginning, my pace group was put at 3:1 intervals (3 min. running and 1 min. walking). Our target was 12 min. 30 sec. miles. We are Team Jamen.

Side note: Jamen Amato was the brother of one of our teammates that we have ran with since 2008. Jamen fought lymphoma for two years and passed on Oct. 14th, 2009. I’m honored that my pace group is named for Jamen, but I don’t yet know how many of the people in my group are aware of that fact or who he was.
This last Saturday was our second mile run in a row. We bumped up to 4:1 intervals this week and I loved it! I’m used to running 4:1 intervals. I opened my stride a little and came in at an average of just under 12 min. miles.
I love my pace group, but I feel like I’m shuffling my feet and fighting against my momentum sometimes in order to stay with our pacer, who is like a running metronome and keeps an incredibly consistent pace. His Garmin may help.
