Many thanks !!!!
I'm so please you had a successful long run at the right pace for you.
Learning to control your pace in training will help you do the same in your races and in a marathon that is crucial especially in the first half.
I'll check my PBs when I get home and let you have them so that you can calculate my paces.
I've just e-mailed you my PBs and times for 2005 as my PBs were back in 2001,2 & 3.
Does that matter?
You need to swap around your long runs so that your 10k races are on your 'shorter' long run weekends and you can still do the longer long runs on the weeks before and after your races. A 10 k race, although may feel tough at the time should not take a lot out of you
I went out for my first run on your schedule last night and made myself slow down (well, my Garmin did).
I felt a lot better than I have done recently as a result.
Also, I don't know how others on here feel but in return for all this work you've done/are doing, I'd like to sponsor you next time you're raising any money on one of your races.
My reward is that you all have a good race that you enjoy yourselves (particularly those of you doing your first marathon), and a PB too.
I have my own running group (WRN)and really enjoy seeing how everyone improves and more importantly enjoys their running.
You very kindly sent me your training plan a few weeks back. Whilst I haven't adopted it, as I am using a variation of my own 4 runs per week plan which got me successfully through Paris last year, this year in London I'd like to get a PB. Just out of interest, what paces would you recommending that I do my runs at. 10K PB = 45:26 Half-Marathon PB = 1:38:40 Marathon PB = 3:53:13.
I'd like to see how your figures compare with what I'm actually doing.
Hope you can help. Many thanks.
How does everyone else find the tempo runs?
Long runs 8.30 to 9.30 min/miles
Easy runs 8.30 to 9.00 min/miles
Tempo runs 7.15 to 7.35 min/miles
Your race times for 10k and half show that there is scope to knock quite a bit off your marathon PB. You could do sub 3.30 providing you get enough long runs in at the right pace.
If schedule says 4 miles tempo, that's 2 miles warmup and down, and 2 miles at tempo pace.
Thanks in advance.
Will send email now.
We're not too far out with our pacings either. In the last week, left the watch at home and ran as I felt. Long run of 13 miles was at 8:25, a tempo run of 5 miles was at 7:24.
Thanks again
:-)
GOing for a sports massage tomorrow that will hopefully help the problem and get me back going again.
I've sent you an email re my pacing times
Thanks, Tgks
I have a 16 miler at the weekend and I WANT to do it!! So i'm going to rest up now and do all the usual, ice, anti inflams, carry on with exercises that I'm already doing with hope that things will have calmed down enough to do long run.
This is the first time I've attempted a schedule and I'd really like to see it through if my legs will allow me to, so we'll see!
