damo_HAC 27 Sep 11:57pm, 27 Sep 2024 691 posts	0 damo_HAC @Ray25757 out of interest, what was your conversion from marathon to the G2E 57miles /93k. ?? I'm planning to go out at MP x 2.75.

K5 Gus 28 Sep 8:40am, 28 Sep 2024 6,248 posts	0 K5 Gus Damo that sounds about right. Last year I did a marathon in 3:22 but was as a hard long run, no taper, probably in 3:12 - 3:15 shape if I'd raced it, then later in the year did the G2E in 8:57 If you take the marathon time as 3:15 then that gives me a ratio of 2.754
NDWDave 28 Sep 9:25am, 28 Sep 2024 20,084 posts	0 NDWDave So pace would be day 10 minutes a mile if you marathon pace is 8 minutes a mile… Probably worth factoring in some element of slowing down as you might do the first half closer to 9’30 and second half more like 10’30/11
fetcheveryone 28 Sep 9:29am, 28 Sep 2024 31,086 posts	0 fetcheveryone Ooh, this ratio thing sounds right up my street 🤓 I’ll make a note, and when I’m done with my big coding project (see blog) I’ll see what I can pull out of the data.
NDWDave 28 Sep 9:39am, 28 Sep 2024 20,085 posts	0 NDWDave I’ve looked at the rate of slowing down for 100 milers… 76thmile.blogspot.com And 5k pace versus 100 mile 76thmile.blogspot.com But that was years ago
NDWDave 28 Sep 9:42am, 28 Sep 2024 20,086 posts	0 NDWDave I’d be interested to see what comes out of the fetch data set
