Hi All, I'm running my first marathon this year. I've been a member of a running club for over a year now and running for about 5. I've run 6 halfs over the years and managed a 1hr 51. My question is I've been doing my long runs and have gotten to 14 miles at 9.30 m/mile pace. At that pace I find it quite easy going and don't feel dead when i get home. My target is to run at 9 m/ miles in the race, do you think this is too high or am I being a bit ambitious? Cheers, Robin |

Nope, you are fine running at 9.30. You shouldn't do your long runs so hard that you can't do your speedier sessions during the week.

Racing is different to training 9.30 sounds good for long runs |
