A good session in the middle part of your marathon training plan to get familiar with your goal pace!

Lighter session that previously planned but still a decent block of marathon pace.

😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

I know I went off too quick for marathon pace on this one but felt good and wanted to see if I could sustain it. By the 2-3km stretches, I had to slow it down a tad and last 1km was a struggle. All good learning tho

Sounds like it went well though, but knowing your paces is crucial. I’m 6 weeks out from my marathon and in my head 3:30 is a very conservative goal, but it would still be a decent PB. Could I run quicker? Probably. But I want to enjoy it, bank a PB and then I reassess my paces and go again in my next marathon block. Point being, trust the current pace, if your marathon then goes really well and feels easy, then reassess. Much better to do that, than push too hard, hit the wall, or worse, get injured. All that said, great running Ben.
