Some background:
27 y/o male, began running in my early 20s
3 marathon to date: 3:35(2009), 3:11(2010) and 3:14(2013)
PR : 5k: 18:53(2013), 10k: 38:58(2012), HM: 1:26:27(2012)
I've been following Pfitz 18/70
2 weeks ago I ran a HM tune-up in 1:28:19, it was an out and back course and we had strong headwind during the second half.
Last weekend I ran the last MP run in the Pfitz plan (18 milers with 14miles at MP) and ended up running 7:00 pace for the MP portion. One of the best MP run I ever had, felt great and could have run longer at the same pace
All my other MP run where run at ~7:05 pace
I know it's not that big of a gap, but on one hand I have a tune up race that tell me my pace should around 7:05, nothing faster and one week later I nail a workout and it indicate me 7:00 pace is not that crazy.
Thanks
