Pammie
Evening

Lums - Fandabbydozy - that is so great, well done
Hendo - not a bad run from you as well
Ian - I don't know

Now my half today not wanting to blast it just kept it easy all the way except the last 200 metres which was a tiny blast
Split time Avg. HR
8:34 146 (70%)
8:42 157 (77%)
8:33 158 (78%)
8:56 160 (79%)
8:48 158 (78%)
8:56 158 (78%)
9:03 157 (77%)
8:56 157 (77%)
9:01 158 (78%)
9:03 158 (78%)
9:14 159 (79%)
8:49 161 (80%)
8:45 164 (82%)
1:43 169 (85%)

Typically a flat course a little hill around 1½ miles plus about 3 railway bridges to manoeuvre over
Finished in 1:57:08 a pb by 2:10
Surprised at the opening miles and optimistic for the future
avg HR was 158 (same as Brentwood) i could have gone quicker but didn't try today, leave that for another day

I think that you have a good shot at the 3:30 that's in your head.

If it were a flat marathon, and you had a really strong Base (I've not had a chance to look in detail at your training and history as yet) I'd say that you *could* be knocking on the door of 3:20 *if* everything went perfectly from this point on!

Ian how do you think your half mara pb reflects on your current level of fitness/training, and did you hammer that race for the time? If you did a balls-out half tomorrow what do you reckon you could achieve?

well done pammie on your new pb, just think what you will do when you really go for it if that was holding back!

Dunno about your run Ian, P and D say it should take as long as your marathon, you did the HR that they say so as Bob says that should mean you do the marathon in 3.12. However, not wanting to put you down or anything. I did my 23 miler at the same HR as your 22 miler. I did the 22 miles in just under 4 hours and there is no way that I will be doing the marathon under 4. I think, and maybe you could apply the same formula, that I will do the marathon about 5mins slower (on a good day) than I did my 23 miler. So, in two weeks time if I turn out to be correct with that then work out what 23 would take you and add 5 mins!!!

Had really carp run today. 13 miles, was overdressed for the weather (went in the afternoon) was going to turn back and change into shorts and vest as it was actually shorts and vest weather but then reminded myself that LS and tights would be good acclimatisation incase FLM is hot again.

I think the weather affected me a bit but am also still very tierd despite having a week of tapering. My runs last week were not too bad, not great but not awful. today
13miles 10.25/mile HR 156 (73% I think)
a couple of months ago 13 miles 9.59/mile HR 151 (71%)
so not very happy

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
