sian - from your race times you sent me:-

Your 10k and 10 mile times are in line with each other. Based on these you could do a 2.20 half and a 4.52 full.

From your half and full marathon times (which are not in line with each other or the other distances)I would say that it's your endurance that you need to work on.

Training paces - long run 11.40 to 12.40 min/miles - so you are running too fast for your long runs now.

Easy - about 11.30 to 12.10, which is what you are already doing.

Tempo - 10.05 to 10.30.

Shades maybe they're quiet because they're...

Nice one BR - I'd like a copy of your 13 session per week training plan please.

Hey Shades,

Could you send me a copy? I have half an idea to give to to my girlfriend, who is capable of running a 48-min 10k off one or two random runs a week.

With your schedule, and running 3-4 times a week, she should be more than able to dip under 3 hours I reckon!

Thanks Shades. Feeling better this week after a long weekend.

I don't have a long term plan, as different issues crop up in training which need addressing. E.g. I have trouble hitting the times on faster intervals so sometimes it is necessary to look at running faster for shorter distances in order to stimulate the right muscles.

I was posting a light hearted thread title. However I'll post what this week should look like on that thread...

Shades - thanks for taking the time to look at my info re training paces - you are right that I definitely need to work on endurance - hoping that my hubby has taken my hints and bought me a garmin for Christmas so I accurately keep an eye on my distances and paces.

I was interested in your comments about my race times - I think my 10k and 10 mile times are where I am - my 1/2 mara was an off-road race undertaken in 30C in July and I was undoubtedly ill-prepared for my marathon! Time will tell whether I can work on my endurance!

Did my 5 mile tempo run tonight at club so 1st run ticked off the training schedule!!

camaco - have you emailed me? I can't send emails via RW with attachments.

BR - please post on your thread that 0-100mpw, I've always wanted to try that - don't post it on here!

sian - your endurance will improve with long runs at the right pace. Are you doing any races in the New Year?

Shades: re races - doing an off-road 10 mile race in January; nothing yet for February; hopefully Gloucester 20 in March (although I'll have to be on top of my game to make the cut-off!) - commitments mean I can normally race once a month.

Sian - See if you can find a half marathon to do in Feb.

I will probably be doing Glos 20 too, don't worry about the cut off - which I don't think will be a problem for you anyway. Nice event Glos 20.
