Threshold (tempo?) intervals at around half-marathon pace or roughly 10 seconds slower than goal marathon pace. 6x1 miles with 400m jog recoveries:
6:56, 6:55, 6:52, 6:56, 6:57, 6:54 Based on my goal marathon pace (7:20), Hanson said I should have been running these at
7:05, but the description called for around half-marathon pace, which
for me is a little faster. I think my estimate for this was correct, because these intervals felt hard, but comfortably so. I was not wiped out at the end of the workout. It was actually a bit of a confidence builder.
