I've done 2 halfs now and I have about 4mo before my next one in March and then I'm signed up for the Full in June. I want to push below the 2hr mark in the half and survive the full.(Though anything under 5hrs in the full would be amazing!) I've enlisted the help of Jimmy for a training program, and I wanted to explore several training methods cause I know every one's different.
I haven't run with a monitor on in the last month and a half or so, but last time, based on what I've been told, my rate was kinda high. At a comfortable pace, I'm in the high 160s - low 170s. Pushing it, I see low to high 180s and I've seen 190 in speed work, though just for a short time before recovery.
Can Mig or anyone else with experience with this break it down for me and let me know how it's worked for you? Currently, I'm just relying on mileage for stamina and speed work to improve my conversational and race pace, although I did recently discover that my body LOVES Hammer gells!!
Thanks, y'all!
