There are a few marathons in the NE this weekend, temps look like they'll be in the high 60's/low 70's. How much would you adjust your pace? In cool temps I'd run around a 7:00 mile at my current fitness, thinking of going out around 7:15/mile for the first few miles and then adjust by feel after 10k or so. Make sense? Its a 6:30 start, so hopefully the first half isn't too bad before the warmth rolls in.
Sounds good to me
Not at all, I just go full Sammy Wanjiru in the heat.
Are you running Buffalo? If so I’ll be there as well. Local weather keeps saying dew points in the 60s during the race which is pretty sticky. I’m praying for a nice breeze off Lake Erie that cools things and maybe even brings some fog but it probably won’t happen. Was thinking I could hold 6:30 pace in ideal conditions but will probably go out 10-15 sec/mile slower. Who knows though maybe I’ll just hold 6:30s until I detonate.
