If you have a chance pick up Daniels' Running Formula (2nd edition), it's a great read.<BR/><BR/>Based on your 5k in Feb he predicts a VDOT for you of around 52-53, which would equate to a 3h04-3h01 marathon. <BR/><BR/>In his new book he slows down the easy runs, for you around 8:18/mile with a MP of 7:02. Tempos would be run at 4:07/km or 6:38/miles with intensity km at 3:48.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, I hope you have a solid race this weekend, all the best!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441387101727202416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-66155319370756327512008-04-04T14:24:00.000+01:002008-04-04T14:24:00.000+01:00Grellan,I've found the sudden change in weather in...Grellan,<BR/><BR/>I've found the sudden change in weather in the last week hard to get used to with times & HRs creeping up. Chest infections and coughing are the upshot and this may explain your bluntness. I cut a 16miler down to a 12 miler in the heat yesterday as there was no point in flogging myself at a high HR and a poor time<BR/><BR/>good luck on sundayRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739196746383254321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-41126617290205903682008-04-03T10:09:00.000+01:002008-04-03T10:09:00.000+01:00I like the look of that guide for predicting a mar...I like the look of that guide for predicting a marathon time. It certainly explains why my 37 minute 10ks only gave me 3:11.<BR/><BR/>Nice work again with the 1k repeats. Sadly for us, daylight saving ends this Sunday :(Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.com
