    off for two weeks holidays at the end of this week. So hope to get my LSR (18m ugh!) done midweek. Will bring the runners but i will stuggle to get as much done there as i would here. If i can manage 4 or 5 mid length and one lsr over there i will be happy enough. I havent really taken step back weeks since i started training for dcm so hopefully a couple of lower millage weeks will be a benifit. I am feeling the miles at the moment so overall i think it will.

    So Hal Higdon's Novice Plan is asking for 15 miles this weekend coming. I have a half-marathon race on Sunday.

    Should I do a 1.9 mile warm-up beforehand, or should I do the half-marathon only?

    16 miles the following Sunday is a big jump if I only do 13.1!

    I missed two runs last week, a 3 mile and my 10 m lsr due to an ankle problem (last run was 7 mile last wed until today). Hoping to get back on track this week after a 3 mile today. Plan to give ankle a rest again tomorrow and continue on with plan (HH N1) as normal if all seems well on Wednesday.

    Question is really is it ok to go ahead with 15 mile lsr after skipping lasts weeks 10m if I'm back on track? (Haven't missed any other sessions at all since starting schedule.)

    Also, if ankle isn't ok and if I have to cross train instead of other mid week runs this week but am able for weekend lsr, what mileage should I do then?

    :confused:

    Looking forward to the 24km LSR on Sat already.

    Gonna go from Dún Laoghaire to Trinity and home again.

    Should be nice!

    Micilin Muc:
    If you are planning on racing the half then a 5-10 min warmup and race will be tough enough. Take it easier at the start of next week and the 16 mile should be no problem.

    Mr abbey:
    See a physio about your ankle, they will be better able to inform you if you can continue and at what mileage.

    Looking forward to the 24km LSR on Sat already.

    Gonna go from Dún Laoghaire to Trinity and home again.

    Should be nice!

    Gosh, I'm nervous about it!! Wish I had your enthusiasm!! While I know it'll get done I have this knot in my tummy thinking about it!! This weekend will be the furthest I'll have run....ever!! Need to psyche myself up rather than psyche myself out!

    PMP is planned marathon pace. Some training plans will have some miles at PMP for the long run. These are normally not part of a novice program although one of the shorter runs during the week may be run at PMP.

    in my case at dublin will be my first marathon my PMP is the same as a LSR pace so i defo wont need to worry about this. Getting around the course is my main goal.

    Your LSR pace should really be slower than PMP - either you are training too fast or you are planning to race too slow.

    well i dunno which so, my LSR runs are about 9.5 min miles and I was planning to run this pace for the marathon. Dunno if I should be planning a faster PMP or a slower LSR. ??

    Ran longford half , 8 min miles but was smashed coming to the finish, defo dont wanna run anywhere near as fast as this for the 26.2

    Don't worry, you wouldn't be able to :D
    But if you can maintain 8 minute miles for a half-marathon, you should be capable of running 9 minute miles in the full - finishing just under 4 hours. 9.5 minute miles, or even a bit slower, would be fine for your LSRs in that case.

    It will be my longest ever as well! I just am in love with my new Garmin so am mad eager to take it out on a long run.

    Hoping to get it done in 2h 39min.

    Thats 6min 38 per km.

    Fingers crossed!
