AM-10 miles with 4 at Tinman tempo-MP effort followed by a gradual increase in pace and effort on the last 3 miles going home. I need to modify this effort and start running it at the correct LT pace on the track for a more accurate assesment. Question is how to do that properly.. Maybe some one on FRB can educate me on what really LT pace is without a lactic acid blood test. I've always thought it was somewhere around 10 mile-10k race pace intensity?

PM-Easy/medium 5 miles on 7th/94th. Felt good but will definitely keep it under the speed limit tomorrow.

LT is ballparked as your 1 hour race pace. So what race distance pace that is varies depending on how fast you are. For most people, it falls somewhere around 15K-10 mile pace.

Since I run the half pretty close to 5:00 pace, I shoot for HM pace (esp at altitude) or a little faster on LT workouts. So, somewhere in the 4:55-5:05/mile range for me. You can usually feel out that effort level (ie. sustainable but hard).

I'd guess the range for you would be ~5:40-5:45, based on your time from UV 1/2.

Thanks Jake, Good to have that down but hard to execute properly some days..

I consider LT anything from about 8 mile to half marathon race pace (which isn't a big range).

True.. I think as long as the right systems are being trained it doesn't pay to think too much about it I guess.

I always get a chuckle out of people saying their legs are filled with lactic acid after a marathon. Unless you're running around 2:03, that's probably not the case! :-)
