I wouldn’t trust anything the organisers say. History of issues.

@larkim - Not sure if entries sold out. Baz was saying he could still get in.

Standard entries are sold out for the Edinburgh half. There is still the GFA route or charity as well.

A sub 1:35 half is a lot easier for a 50 year old than for a 59 year old.

Hey, I am only 57. I reckon with some focus 1:35 is well within range.

Sub 1:35 is very decent for a 57 year old.

Interesting article link.springer.com We analysed the training characteristics and training intensity distribution (TID), which refers to the fraction of training completed within discrete training zones, of 151,813 marathon runners with a wide range of perfor- mance levels. Training volume was three times higher in the fastest runners (fnish times of 120–150 min) compared with slower runners (>240 min) within the dataset. Faster runners accrued larger training volumes almost exclu- sively by accumulating training at intensities below the lactate threshold (zone 1). The majority of runners adopted a pyramidal TID approach, whereby the highest proportion of training volume is completed in zone 1, and progressively less training volume is completed between lactate threshold and critical speed (zone 2) and above critical speed (zone 3). Furthermore, the proportion of runners adopting a pyramidal TID approach increased with performance, reaching~80% among runners with fastest marathons times. These data suggest that a pyramidal approach with a high training volume is a hallmark of successful mara- thon performance. |

It's interesting Charles that they have used a large dataset and that it is scientifically and statistically valid. But the actual finding is completely obvious, almost mundane. Higher training mileage leads to better race performance.. Training mileage is mostly slow running with small proportion of faster running. Unless I'm missing something? (I only read your abstract not whole link!) Errr... yeah!  G
