chunkywizard Jun 2020 11:50am, 27 Jun 2020 8,670 posts	0 chunkywizard Well ideally it’s 3h15m marathon pace (7:26/mile) but if I can do 7:39/mile I’ll be happy as it’ll be 52miles for the week. [converted to mile pace just for you!]
Windsor Wool Jun 2020 12:10pm, 27 Jun 2020 4,686 posts	0 Windsor Wool That’ll make a nice session. Run well. I’m running with Ross in the morning. Wish me luck!!
chunkywizard Jun 2020 3:46pm, 27 Jun 2020 8,673 posts	0 chunkywizard Good luck, he's really quick at the moment. What’s the session?
Windsor Wool Jun 2020 4:23pm, 27 Jun 2020 4,687 posts	0 Windsor Wool 2 hours, last 30 mins at 7s. I may be too heavy and anchor for him to get down that low though 😂!
Paul N Jun 2020 8:41pm, 27 Jun 2020 1,297 posts	0 Paul N Should have been in the mountains with the club tomorrow but it got canned ⛈️. Ran a 6 mile tempo tonight in lieu, hard but manageable in pretty crappy conditions. 41.23 for the 6, exactly 6.52.5 mm.
jda Jun 2020 9:53pm, 27 Jun 2020 7,713 posts	0 jda That's more like it. You must be in the ballpark for a 1:30 depending how close to race effort that felt.
Paul N Jun 2020 10:11pm, 27 Jun 2020 1,301 posts	0 Paul N Yeah I'm leaning towards having a crack at it. I think I would benefit from setting more challenging targets.
Windsor Wool Jun 2020 10:12pm, 27 Jun 2020 4,688 posts	0 Windsor Wool Good stuff Paul, that’s an excellent marker!
Daz Love Jun 2020 1:10pm, 28 Jun 2020 1,360 posts	0 Daz Love Good work Paul. I went out with a club mate who had the same session, 6 at that pace. It was in the blazing sun. I bailed after 2 miles and went to the shop for a drink! He carried on and managed it! I am really struggling to get motivated for hard running at the moment and just trying to keep ticking over until the mojo comes back!
