Hello Sam,
A question about pace on the race day, and what final time to target.
I did a half last year with minimal training that indicates a marathon time of 4.15.
Since then i jogged along at 15 miles/week for a few months then started the "ideal world level 2" programme from your "start to finish" book, Its going really well, i feel really fit (pulse 47!) and I can easily do 6 or more 8 min miles in my midweek runs,
no injuries, no stiffness, all great. feel great.
a lot of me want to to try to break 4 hours but the quality of my previous long runs really worries me,
I ran 20 miles last sunday and 20 miles the sunday before both at 10min pace and felt that was all I had, it was quite hard going. although again, completely recovered and no stiffness the next day as if i hadn't even done it!
So im a bit confused
am i just not a long distance runner?
i don't use gels or special drinks as i don't like them i drink water and eat chocolate.
have i overtrained
will the taper enable me to beat 4hours?
Can you advise on a goal to aim for
and a pace strategy please
Thanks very much
Christian
