MP pace is a strange inbetween pace that you only run in a specific session or a race itself, that's why it's so tough imho, the infrequency of it.

12 mile medium long run completed with an average pace of 8:11 m/m. Right on track again. :)

paul a - I think it's a shame, for selfish reasons, you don't upload your training to Fetch.

40:38 for a 10k today - lack of miles, lack of any speed work, and a lunpy course put paid to the hoped for sub 40. Got a half next weekend, see if I can break 1:30

Paul a, do you actually train or just run marathons? (very well may I add)

Nice one Gus considering the drawbacks, good luck next week.

Train like everyone else, just through 1800 miles this year so I don't do prolific mileage.

My point being I'm a (roughly) 50 ish mile a week kind of guy, which isn't high mileage by marathon standards.
