It's marathon pace for sure. Best to run it at MP, it's all part of a strength building exercise which is progressive as the weeks go on. Changing the session to HMP (half marathon pace) changes the training effect achieved in the session and in the long run will prove less beneficial to running it at MP if that makes sense.

I bet that all makes zero sense to you

Would you believe me Brian is i said it made perfect sense Didn't think so. But i will do as i am told The half marathon i am doing is in a months time so i was just wondering. Thanks for that

Anne i find gradually increasing the pace during the warm up mile makes it easier to get to and hold the HMP. it works for me most of the time

Had to change it around at the last minute, so did my LSR run after work today. Am hoping to do it tomorrow but I have a slight strain in my calf muscle. Will see how I am in the morning but should be good to go.

Nice to get the LSR out of the way before the weekend.

red face dave

Yeah it was great alright didn't get as much done as I wanted to. A friend started running so we had to go a bit slower but it was nice to have someone to run with. Still got close to 9 miles done and that was the longest he has ever ran so it was a plus.
