I can provide other info too, but wanted to get a sense what this workout alone might indicate. Thanks.
Gabe. I mean, bump.
1:11.xx
Thanks. I wish. My PR is 1:19 but that was only several months after picking up running, on less mileage. I was thinking of going out at 1:17xx pace and seeing how it goes, but some recent workouts might be telling me that's conservative. Any other thoughts?
I was thinking about jumping into a half marathon soon and shooting for 1:17. Here are a couple of my recent runs.
10 miles at 6:00 pace.
5x1600 with 3-3:30 rest (5:15, 5:15, 5:25, 5:25, 5:27)
18 miles at 6:25 pace
Maybe I'm underestimating my ability as well but if you think these would be easy then maybe you should shoot for something like 1:15.
Those workouts would kick my as$. Not even sure I could do the 2nd one. The first and third I could do but it would be a very hard effort. I think you're set for 1:15 if you can do that but what do I know.
But I was actually thinking of doing an 8 miler at 6:00 pace as one last good tempo. For that middle workout, at this point I'd rather do something like 6 x 1 mile at 5:40s recovering with 2:00 at 7:30/8:00 since I'm close to the race and think honing in on hmp with short recoveries is the way too go. With 3:00 - 3:30 pure rest i could probably average 5:25ish but not sure. Haven't done that typ of workout in a while.
If you jump into a half, you're def in better shape than me if you're doing those workouts and recovering within a couple days. Good luck and thanks.
