I`m also expecting a FT nightmare of slowness upon my ass....But(t) see the long term as one or two seasons probably, then the big time. Weird that my 7 miles a day @ 7-40 ish is an all wrong M-pace (ish), and that it`s the slower fibres I aint vaguely trained yet... but if all the fibres work for you, endgame: better when FT allowed, I guess.

Long term game is the plan!!!

Daz Love Nov 2016 7:49pm, 12 Nov 2016 424 posts	Quote Pin Daz Love SPR - I wouldnt say i have lost that much form since 2015. I run a 10k off road race only 8 weeks ago in 38:55 (even got 1st V40 and 6th overall out of 400) I am not in sub 18 shape for 5k but hugely suprised myself at the pace. I always knew HR went up fairly quickly when running but never knew how slow I would have to run to keep low!

Huntsman Nov 2016 8:22pm, 12 Nov 2016 4,503 posts	Quote Pin Huntsman SPR - that's a fantastic link. I ran 6 miles in an hour recently and I hated it so I could keep my HR sub 70% max. I will no longer run much above 9m/m and probably more like 8:45's for easy runs. Bit of a relief tbh
Daz Love Nov 2016 8:31pm, 12 Nov 2016 425 posts	Quote Pin Daz Love We did briefly discuss this on here yesterday. SPR - That's a great link (Thanks) and it sayslink to 5k PR. My 5k pace is 5:45 so that would mean 8:45 per mile. So I would keep doing that until the HR comes down. Ptb - What is your view on this as we touched on this yesterday?
