Jelly babies

[Travs]

Hi thanks again for the replies. It's made interesting reading. I'd also posted this on UKC and it was much more civilised on here.

I think for the time being I'm going to keep eating my jelly babies. They are tasty and don't seem to be negatively effecting me. If I get clear evidence not to eat them, I'll stop.

Now if I can just figure out the correct pace to run at for each of my sessions I'll be well away!

Do a 2 mile (or 3km) time trial as fast as possible. Work out your pace per mile/km

Do your steady runs around 60-70% of that pace
Do your tempo runs around 85-90%
Do your "reps" faster than that pace (20% faster if you can)

That is a very rough guide, but you won't be far off.
