IanRunner May 2008 8:43am, 8 May 2008 211 posts	Quote Pin IanRunner I've just been doing all the general aerobic runs at below 70% WHR. P&D recommends between 65% and 78% for these runs. Its worked well for me and my pace on these runs has improved alot since starting the schedule. Im on the second last week of the taper now and its worked well for. My 10k time has improved from 43:45 to 41:57. This has been using time trials when a race has'nt been possible. I've really enjoyed doing it. Its been hard but then Marathon training is hard. I think the schedule has got me to be as prepared as I possibly could be.

Did a 10k last night - absolute rubbish!! 3.5 minutes slower than the last time I ran that course! But at least I've got a good starting point now to see how my speed improves with focussed training.

IanRunner May 2008 6:55pm, 11 May 2008 216 posts	Quote Pin IanRunner Has anyone done the after marathon schedule? Got my marathon next Sunday and was thinking of following it. Dont think I'll be following the final week of the taper. It still seems fairly hard for a taper. Just did my final medium long run of 12 miles.
