Weel ... I am referring to a training situation. Not a race.
And, slowing down in a long distance race is not an inevitability. It depends on how you pace it. Is not the improved ability to maintain pace throughout one of the lauded benefits of run/walk?

So long since a post on here! How's it gaun, Jeffers?
Yesterday, ran-walked to my furthest run since badly pulled my Achilles in a race last May. 10.3 km in 1:16:48, on 2:10/ 0:50. Had not even intended it, but at just past 5 km could have turned right for home, or left for longer. I turned left.
And then kept adding bits on. Legs tiring a bit towards the end but could have gone on a bit. In longer (or faster) runs until now, a wee nag at the back of the calf has developed, but not yesterday. And today, apart from ankle being slightly stiff for a couple of minutes first thing, all is well

I got a bit ahead of myself and attempted Marcothon, including some continuous running days. I had to give up after day 7 and needed a week off to let my knee recover. I managed a very gently 3.7 miles yesterday. It's back to jeffing-only for me for the next couple of weeks. I love it though. I thought I'd hate it, but I've discovered just being out there and moving is the most important thing.
I'm glad the recovery is going well Dvorak Well done on passing the 10k mark.

That’s great Dvorak I ran/ walked 3.30/30 9 miles on Sunday and the pace was only a few seconds slower than that of the 8 miler I ran continuously the week before. I felt less tired and recovered quicker so all my long runs for marathon training will be jeffed from now on.

I think I have a bit of heaviness in my legs, but it was the third effort day of three. Day aff today
One other thing was I deliberately kept my running pace down throughout. Sometimes it creeps up a bit as I get into it and sometimes I'll deliberately throw in some faster bits, as I know a break is coming. Yesterday, I kept myself reined in.
25 walk intervals at around 80m each meant that I ran roughly 8.3 of the 10.3 km.

And thank you Hope your recovery goes well LS (Marcothon has never been for me) and the marathon training goes well, Jenny.
