Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

start with 3 and aim for 5 off about 60 -90 seconds recovery

Be realistic about the pace, this is not 5 x smash it so almost worth running current 5km pace to start and then chipping a few seconds off.

I know why SPR is laughing :¬)

I've always felt I have to work harder to even get below average results.

The thing that interests me is that I am pretty average but however many miles I racked up in training I don't think there is anyway that I could sustain 7mm (or jsut under) for 26 miles.

I don't have any plans to run another marathon at the moment, but I really don't believe that everyone is capable of a sub-3 marathon given the right training and suggesting so leads people to set themselves targets they can never achieve.

That sounds very negative, whereas I am all for setting challenging goals, but they have to be realistic too.
