is it better for half marathon or could it be consider good for marathon training as well?
i finished 4 of these, timing 11.15 / 11.13 / 11.12 and 10.55, jogging 400m between each.
Can i assume i can run a half marathon at 11.10 pace with this training?
and what would be a good marathon predict based on this?
some recent commentary on that workout.
seems to me a better half marathon workout than for the full marathon.
To turn it into a marathon workout, do it in two sets, with a 45-60 minute regular run between sets.
Meaning
2 miles
2 miles
45-60 minute run
2 miles
2 miles
if I wanted to convert that a marathon...I'd say your tempo pace is probably 5:37 or so, which would imply a marathon at around 2:37 per mcmillan.
Am I close?
I would say that can be a good marathon workout. But to make it a good one you need some idea of what your MP is and run at a slightly faster pace.
Sounds like you are trying to use it as a predictor.

thanks you too for comments.
yes I hope you are close. I am aiming to break 2h40 on may. I've recently run a Half Marathon where I've run the first half in 35:00 and slowed down to finish 76:30 so I was almost giving up on my 2h40. This workout gave me confidence again and I shared to have some other opinions if it was good enough to use it as a predictor for a Marathon as well.
i've been running tempo runs of 10 miles around 6:00 pace, so 2h38, but i am tired in the end.

2:42-2:45 Not enough mileage.

i am running 70 mpw, and a long run of up to 35k every weekend. A total of 8 long runs - 25 - 27 - 29 - 31 - 33 - 35 - 30 - 25
my pace for these goes from 6.40 to 7.10, depending on how tired i am.
