A fair question to ask!
Basically I just want to get race sharp and achieve the best possible marathon time in October, and racing 10ks and 1/2's in the build up seems to be the strategy for a lot of marathon racers.
Having said that, if I can do it just running fast 5k's and long tempo runs for the next couple of months... then all the better
In the winter and in the build up to London marathon next year I would definitely like to put down 10k and 1/2 mara PBs.
16:48 in the 5k paced run this morning:
3:20
3:17
3:27 (headwind!)
3:19
3:23 (headwind!)
Weight 77.5kg
Felt good.
