Would like to hear peoples thoughts on what shape i am in . 2 weeks ago i did mile repeats at 6.10-6.12 This is the mileage i have ran after not running from may-sept due to injury October 43.4 miles November 62 miles December 157 miles January 194 miles February 194 miles March 220 miles Interested in hearing peoples thoughts. Last thing i want to do is go to hard and blow up. If i were to guess i am in 3.04 shape on a flat course but could be wrong. Tks Bryan

healy1835 wrote: » There'd be other posters with greater insight than me Bryan, but you're averaging less than 50 miles a week over the block and the quantity of LR's & Races seems to be on the low side. Apologies as I think you've already posted this on the thread already, but how would the MPW and race schedule compare to your other Marathons?

The above long runs were probably done on tired legs and tired system. Feel if I am well rested I can run faster. Last race was Trim 10 start of February 1.08.30 but wind was a bitch that day so my placing would have been 1.06.15 in previous year. Tks lads

shotgunmcos wrote: » Its not the block, its the foundation that block sits on... You have more miles done and some decent LRs. It looks light on MP mileage to me and the segments you did at 7:02ish pace would suggest 3:05 as a target but 6mile segments are a bit short to gauge. 1:08 for 10m would have been a good indicator if you did it at marathon tempo, but it was a race and wrecked you. Now, I know you have bags of cycling and swimming done over the years and while it doesn't translate straight to running legs or form it does translate to the engine. I'm in a similar boat to you, although I have 5 weeks to Limerick. I thought maybe going off with the 3:15 pacers (I missed a couple of week training completely due to illness) and pushing on but on the day I may go off at 3:10 pace if I feel ready for it. If 3:09 is your PB, how about doing that pace for the first half and bring home a new one in the second half?

healy1835 wrote: » You're the only person I've come across that's run multiple sub 3 marathons and has never raced a half! do I remember you saying you'd done a time trial half in training before? Not sure what to go for in Limerick, I've just been enjoying training, and racing a few shorter distances knowing that the half marathon will end the block of training. Set relatively big PBs over 5k,5Mile & 10k so I've a bit of form on paper anyway!.....Tentatively going to say get to 10miles in under 60mins and then see where I am........PB is 1:19:59 so that's my first target
kerrylad1 wrote: » That p.b is going to take some battering I would say.Can not remember if I did a timetrial or was it part of a long m.p run,but the watch says a record of 1:25:11 for the half.So I might aim for 1:24.
