    Re: Today's Training

    2nd of the winter series road races, Since I'd pretty much been given the all clear from the Docs I decided to go for it and see where i was.

    7.43 miles 1255ft in 51.09 on a stunning night. It's the hardest I've run for 8 weeks and I gave everything.

    Don't you just love pain it's great:w00t::thumbup:

    that's good going Ian

    I agree: the satisfaction from a run is usually proportional to the pain experienced

    I was second behind Peniston runner Lee, he beat me by 1.10 minutes but I had two runners snapping at my heels that made me keep going. 19 out in total including PaulE

    13.5 miles today in 1.59....oh I so wish I could go at this pace for the whole of the Kielder Marathon a week on Saturday! I mean 8.45-9.00 min mile ain't difficult!
    That would give me a 3.50 ish result!
    AS IF!!! :thunbdown:
    It's a very undulating route, I ain't done that much training, and I always struggle after 15 miles....boo.....but ones gotta dream!!!

    Oh dear I got dragged into a middle distance group at Notts AC tonight against my better judgement. did 6x900m reps with a minute between each. Might do some good for those fast undulating sections of fell races such as longshaw!?

    That marathon sounds gorgeous MG, although I suspect that on the whole it will be a flat 'un given that it seems to follow the lake side all the way.

    I also looked at Steve Cram's training guide on the web site and liked his 10K to marathon time conversion formula. He reckons that on balance an 'elite' athlete will run a marathon at a pace 10% slower than their 10K pace. Taking a huge jump in imagination and assuming me to be an elite athlete for a second and adding in that I've also, amazingly, run the Leeds 10K this year in 44 minutes, that means that my marathon time = 44 x 4.2 x 1.1 = 3 hours 23 minutes. That sort of goes with my rough and ready marathon calculation that my likely time would be circa 1 hour less than it takes me to run the 3P (4:22 best race finish and more recently 4:18 best solo run finish). Absolutely no need to run a marathon now as I already know my time
