Hi TheEd,
I ran 22km today for my long run. Following something I'd read, I ran the first 16km slowly (5:10/km) before speeding up to mimic my proposed half marathon race pace of 4:15/km for 4km, followed by 2km warm down.
It felt good throughout, so hopefully that's a guide telling me that pace will be manageable. To get more practice at that pace, should I aim to run say 8-10km instead of my paced 5km this cycle?
Thanks,
David
