Tuesday 4/17/12 at 6:23pm: 3.11 miles at 8:55/mile (MP + 30 seconds) in 27:47

Legion Field

Went for a 9:30, 9:00 and 8:30 mile and did a 9:26, 8:53 and 8:29 mile.

 

I am considering a ten mile progressive run for Saturday (9:00, 8:50, 8:40, 8:30, 8:20, 8:10, 8:00, 7:50, 7:40, 7:30).

The faster miles in the progressive run mimic the later miles of the marathon (more difficult to put together marathon pace miles at the tail end of the marathon).  Putting together an 8:25/mile at mile 23 might feel like running a 7:25/mile.  Or put another way, running a 9:25/mile at mile 23 might feel like running an 8:25/mile. 

 

Cheshire Half Marathon as a Training Run (week before Marathon)

Run it at Marathon Pace (8:25/mile).  Most people would say this would be okay.

Run it at Half Marathon Pace (7:55 mile).  Most people would say not a good idea as may compromise Marathon following week.

But 7:55s are awesome!!!

So guess what I say!
