The paces are to encourage breathing and pacing imho and trust me over the 10 weeks there have been many positive results. I've improved whenever I've done it.
tipsku 12 May 11:37am, 12 May 2025 4,930 posts	Quote Pin tipsku I rejoined after the marathon and set a benchmark on the track with 21:48, 2 weeks after the marathon. I wonder how much the marathon was still in the system then because I ran 21:01 two weeks later. I'm really excited about breaking 21 soon and then setting my eyes on sub-20. It's not going to happen in this training block but probably in the next one.

Set a 5k time at parkrun last Sat without pushing it too hard, long run on Monday and Threshold today. It might be difficult to fit all the sessions in with holiday and family needs but will definitely try.
