Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

hellen if it helps my HR goes through the roof when I am hot, don't stress it - you've done the training now, just relax until race day.

El, 3.20 would do me nicely but so would 3.30!

I have to say I cant see myself getting 3.12 at the moment although I'd love to!

Hendo, It would just be a rough guess as its thats long since I done one but I' d think i would get under 1.35 but how close to 1.30 I dont know.

Hellen, you'll have to let me know how your theory works, alhough I hope its P&D's which works for you.
Like Hendo says try not to stress, you've done the hard work, better to have your rubbish runs now than in fortnights time!

Pammie, Good run btw!

Thank you everyone, even better the results are in and chip says i'm faster 1:56:46

Hellen i have heard that, about overdressing for your training runs helps you prepare for race day esp if the weather is warm. I know Ron Daws did that probably others too.

Take your worst case then Ian - 1:35 x 2 + 20 = 3:30

That's what I reckon you'll do :)

Thanks Hendo.

I'll stick to 3.30 then and anything will be a bonus!

that 2 x HM + 20 gives me 4.10 which is more or less what I am aiming for, although I dont think I could do my HM PB now cos I have been doing so much slow training recently

hellen hellen hellen... have faith in your training - you'd nail your half pb *because* of your slow training! All you'd need to do is run faster from the start, you'd be surprised at what the base conditioning lets you do... I always am!

I hope you are right mr lion!

Got really excited yesterday cos my running track has now been turned from a rugby pitch to a running track!! At the school where I work they have fields a couple of miles away as well as fields at school. In the summer there is a nice runnign track, popped in yesterday on my LSR to fill up water bottle and was really tempted to get on them and do some intervals. Will have to hold myself back til after FLM, or maybe one little session on thursday!!! Its gresat having the whole track to myself, unfortunatly they are a bit tight with keys for the pavilion so I cant get in and use the loo but at least there is a water fountain outside!

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
