A good session early in a marathon plan to practice running at goal pace. Each 5k block will get progressively harder.

We want to practice that marathon pace here (5:41 per km). Run the other kms slower. Good luck. Don’t forget your gels 😁

What?early in my marathon training? 😂😂 seemed to running long distances not complaining 😂😂. Due to the condition I ran the First 15 k at a similar pace it was hot and before I did feel tired , but got out there and did it , I ran the last 5k at a slower pace and increased it per K . I took a gel about 15 minutes before I started and another just before I ran , with no reaction to my stomach , no new niggles and injuries , my left leg problem has seemed have gone . For the record I did have a pair of old racing shoes , which have seen there best day , so pace is worth a bit more .

Loving the feedback. I think what I will try and do, is later in the plan is come and join you for one of these sessions. It’s because I want you running at 4 hour pace as consistency as possible. So when Chester rolls around and you tuck in with the pacers, it’s feels comfortable. But really well done here, I’ll let you know about potentially running together at some stage. Might not be for another 6 weeks or so but I will try and make it work. Really well done though Allan.
