One last piece of marathon pace and then just an easy run to keep the legs ticking over before the big day. I like 4:45 pace. I think you’ll run a really strong race at that speed and bank a big PB. The fact you’re running at your best now, despite all the work issues that led to those missed sessions etc, it’s great. We’ve already banked the half marathon PB as well. So confidence should be high. But the marathon distance can be brutal and a smart pacing strategy is what has delivered the best results for the team. Happy to have a discussion though if you do want to set slightly higher targets.

Just an opportunity to get some more miles in at marathon pace and really dial those splits in. Come race day we want marathon pace to feel comfortable.

We’ve made it. So exciting. The biggest mistake is going off too fast, know your pace and stick to it, even if it feels super easy. You’ve trained well, now just go and execute. Best of luck.
