Training Plans & Runs | Staplehurst 10 Miler

Really excited about this race now so many of the team have decided to run. It should be a lot of fun. The route looks fairly decent apart from one step climb around 6 miles. My trusty pace sheet is telling me around 9 min milling would be right for you. Although perhaps hold back a little at the start and build into the race.

PACE

Think your pace is a bit out for a 1::32 finish at 9:05 a bit optimistic but managed to run the first 6 miles going by my splits at that pace until we hit that hill but managed to pick it up again by the last 2 miles not sure where the supposed downhill for the last 3 miles was but hey without that hill it would probably of been pretty close to a 2 hour half marathon ! well who knows in the future if i find a pancake flat half.

Yeah sorry, it’s hard to get all the targets right, but if that helped push you that little bit harder then it could have been a good thing. I think that hill was a little tougher than I expected and there was also one or two other hills early on. The really positive thing here is that in those last 2 miles you’re running sub 2 HM pace, deep into a tough run, so as you say, on the right course, I think it’s definitely a possibility in 2025. So you should be very pleased with this one Jo. I am.
