Betcha that long run felt kinda' short(for a long run). Only a week out--I think you'll do great. Still shooting for a 1:45?

Honestly, it felt tiring...but yes shorter.

1:45...don't know. Not sure if that would mean pushing too much.

Haven't really thought about strategy, but, from the top of my head, this could be a plan:

First 5k take it easy, a 6:00 min/km pace; from 6k onwards, push pace to 5:15 min/km. The question is: can I sustain that pace from 16kms? I wonder myself.

At least I'll shoot for a 1:55. What do you think?

I think you could do a 1:50 without hurting yourself too much--6:00 pace seems a little slow to start--slower than your regular training pace. I say start at your regular training pace and then warm up into something faster but sustainable and then hang on until the end!

April, you are probably right. Should start at regular training pace.

Thanks for the tip.
