The 3x1 mile interval session was great. And I like the P&D intervals as they suggest a decent warm-up of 2-3 miles before each session. Strides are good, Ill do one more small set tomorrow.

Impossible is Nothing
I wimped out and did 6x800m but they were great on the back of tapering slightly.

I have to say, I didn't enjoy the mile intervals at all. Too long for my liking. 1k is about right for an interval

I liked the mile intervals, although I'm not sure about the closeness to the target race. It would have been good to have them earlier when you wouldn't be worrying about wiping yourself out doing them.

I had never done mile intervals before so slightly whimped out. Instead I did 800,1600, 800, 1600. found the miles quite hard as I had no idea how to pace and set off too fast!

I considered whimping out but I think that's half the point - the mental aspect. Forcing you to do something difficult

I got a PB by over 11 minutes and finished in 2:47:27. This was slower than hoped/expected as I suffered with a stitch for the last 10km which slowed me by 5 minutes! I was on 2:42 pace up until 20 miles. I'm happy that the Advance Marathoning schedule worked well, the stitch was caused by me drinking too much. I think the book mentions somewhere the volume of liquid you can digest whilst on the move. Will need to re-read that before I attempt another marathon (which isn't going to be for a while). Still pleased though.

9.45 min PB but was hoping for a bit faster, will hopefully manage that at Edinburgh though. MY prob was that I made up for lost time at the start all in mile 3 and 4 so started to find it hard from mile 18 which I shouldnt have done cos I have done 7 runs longer than 18miles!
