OK - I'm still trying to figure out what is good pacing for London so I can go as far as possible without losing too much speed or energy!!I did a 10 min mile half marathon.Should my marathon pacing be a nice 11 min mile? I do want to come in at 4
to be out there longer running at a slower pace or quicker and not be on your legs for so long?? Hope this makes some sense.?? If you have not ran further than 20 miles, then I suggest that you start out at a slow pace, and take walking breaks if you need to
How will I know what pace to run at?I'm doing the Kent 50 Mile Challenge in July and so far the furthest I've ran is marathon (will be stepping this up after I've raced Blackpool marathon on 11th April).I currently run 60-70 miles per week, although
minutes, and after the first 10 managed to settle a bit, but no matter how hard I try, I struggle to start slowly, and if I do try to run slowly, my pace ends up all over the place (run slow for a bit, stop concentrating, realise I am running too fast
in the 8 min/mile group. I'll see what my heart rate does in this. It'll also be a good opportunity to check that my pace calculation from Sunday was correct. I'm racing the Reading half too so I can double check over the half-marathon distance.Cheers
but be conservative on the way out but psycologically I'm happier to push myself when past the halfway mark. Steve - sounds like you need a good warm up before you start - so its quicker to hit your running pace when the race begins. You'll tear through the field

I know there are other threads about pace, but I didn't want to hijack anyone else's and this is probably a very ignorant question! I'm not a great runner by any means, but I'm training up for my 2nd half marathon at the end of March and I

to heart rate zone, or pace. I've jst come back from a session where i set a target pace of 6:00 - 6:15 for each 1000m: warmed up 5x1000m intervals with 60 sec recovery Looking at the data I comfortably made my target pace - each interval was 6
