My Fenix 5 is also weirdly reluctant to pick up pace under anything at all overhead, sometimes not close overhead, WW

Just checked out the long term forecast for next Sunday. Slight panic as the forecast for tomorrow is a high of 27 degrees. So far the forecast looks good with a high of 21 (which should be long after I am done) but 1-5mm of rain. Not ideal but should be fine.

Tanda results are in - 3 19. The calculator gives a summary of past performances/predictions and it is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I am surprised how optimistic it was for my first marathon (which was an injury plagued sub 4 attempt). It thinks I could have done much better at London in 2010 and is probably right but I didn't know it at the time. I was aiming for 3:45 and ran to pace with no real issues. I beat the prediction by close to 9 minutes last year but that is predominantly due to the training I did for the postponed marathon which this calculator doesn't take into account. I also beat the prediction for the postponed run by 6 minutes and I was in much better shape in Mid August than early October (as indicated nicely by the calculations) I also think I am in much better shape this year compared to last year so hopefully I can blow this prediction out of the water as well. |

All good here, just checked the forecast and it looks like it will be a cold start. Less than 10 degrees! There will be a lot of shivering on the start line. Two ten km run outs this week and I'll do a shortish run tonight. Volunteering at parkrun tomorrow but I might go for a little jog. Plan is to go out at 4:33 mins per km pace and try and hold on when it gets tough late in the race. |
