don't start off too quick, rather run evenly, trying to push hard on top of base legs would give you the wrong idea of how strong you are
TheEd ps.. tip .. maybe .. look to start off at the 8 minute fartlek pace

Quote:Date - Distance - Time (Pace) Did the Fartlek again today - probably did each of the 8 minutes slightly too quickly which is why I covered my course 4 minutes too quickly :noway: Feeling very good for it though - going to be very interested to see what I run over the 4k on Monday...

nice .. if you able to hold yourself back you will be presently surprised at how you have benefited after the next build up cycle
enjoy the 4k time-trial onwards and forwards TheEd

I know this might not be the most useful thing in the world, but I found out the three sets of race slits I did in my three half marathons this year. Just wondered if these would tell you anything about me as a runner - such as if I'm pacing myself badly? To give you a bit of background I did three half marathons in four weeks:
Eastbourne 4th March - big hill at the start but all flat apart from that. Weather was atrocious and being only 9.5 stone and 6 foot tall - wind does not favour me! 93:11 finish time. Lydd 11th March - perfect weather, perfectly flat. 92:32 finish time. Hastings 25th March - perfect weather, very up and down but my home race which means I get energy drinks all the way around! 95:08 finish time. This race means the world to me - this is where I want to perform the best, and this is the only HM I'm aiming towards in 2013. Eastbourne Splits KM Mins 1 4:05 2 4:05 3 4:15 4 4:30 5 4:45 6 5:22 7 3:48 8 3:52 9 4:15 10 4:13 11 4:15 12 4:17 13 4:13 14 4:20 15 4:17 16 4:20 17 4:28 18 4:40 19 4:40 20 4:40 21 4:30 21.3 1:20 Lydd Splits KM Mins 1 03:59 2 03:58 3 04:05 4 04:10 5 04:07 6 04:13 7 04:10 8 04:17 9 04:18 10 04:20 11 04:17 12 04:20 13 04:23 14 04:24 15 04:30 16 04:35 17 04:40 18 04:37 19 04:37 20 04:45 21 04:42 21.25 01:05 Hastings Splits KM Mins 1 04:16 2 03:58 3 04:40 4 04:11 5 04:03 6 05:09 7 04:59 8 04:42 9 04:28 10 04:15 11 04:31 12 04:40 13 04:08 14 04:55 15 04:20 16 04:02 17 04:18 18 04:27 19 04:45 20 04:43 21 04:37 21.21 00:56

It's not particularly up or down hill, but I would describe it as slightly uphill for the first 2.5KM, down for the next 1, and then flat for the final 0.5. Total time was 17:22, which seeing it's the first time I've run hard for any length of time in 6 weeks, I'm quite pleased with - especially as I was holding back a little in reserve. 500M splits were as follows: 0.5 - 2:10 1 - 2:15 1.5 - 2:13 2 - 2:17 2.5 - 2:13 3 - 1:55 3.5 - 2:05 4 - 2:12 And graph looks like: http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/activity/r...2080125995

nice going Glenn .. good to read you feeling positive about things
have a wonderful Christmas all the best TheEd ps.. I will go through the data in more detail shortly, though you may start too quickly for a half

Quote:Date - Distance - Time (Pace) Have started my second run through the build up period. As you can probably see, I got given a far more accurate GPS watch over Christmas - so the times look slower, but are actually the same as before, just much more accurate! Did you manage to have a look through my reams of Half Marathon data, would be very interested to know what you think I could be capable of this season from those?
28-12-2012, 09:11 PM
Hi Glenn, as can be seen I have not been able to go through things just yet, this thing called the festive season getting in the way
 and then they do it every yearas soon as the right space arrives I shall sink my teeth into it have a good New Year celebration all the best TheEd ps.. nice on the new watch 
29-12-2012, 08:54 PM
Hahaha! Those pesky days away from work are always a pain
Some further good news is that I've also ordered myself a heart rate monitor which synchs with the new watch, so I should soon be able to give you truly sickening levels of accuracy with regards to everything. The wonders of technology... I remember the old days at the track where, as a 12 year old, my Russian coach used to have two manual stopwatches, a clipboard and terrifying ability of converting metres to feet... Anyway, reminiscing, still plodding along: Quote:Date - Distance - Time (Pace)

Quote:Date - Distance - Time (Pace) Have now started looking towards any other races that would fit around the Hastings Half Marathon - would a 5 mile race 5 weeks before be adequate to get me race sharp do you think? The three races prior to Hastings which I can easily do are as follows: 17th February - Wittersham 5 miles 3rd March - Eastbourne Half 10th March - Lydd Half 24th March - Hastings Half I was thinking about just doing Wittersham this year, rather than all three prior to Hastings like I did last year - will this be enough? It also gives just over a month between the final 4K time trial and my first race of the year, and so nine weeks after coming off the base phase is the big race day - which sounds about right to me? |
