A great marathon sessions to practice goal pace. As the session progresses that RPE will creep up and you’ll have to work hard in the last 5km block.

A decent session and the last one of note before London. If hitting that marathon pace (5:00) it should feel pretty comfortable, especially at first.

This was good. I did 4 x Park run and stopped my watch for the slower 1km in between so I knew where I was on each individual 5K. 7’47” minute mile average so 3hr 24’ marathon pace. It was actually quite tough running into the wind on the return leg but the first half, with the wind at my back, felt great.

Beautiful, what a great session two weeks out and nice to hit that quicker pace. It should mean on race day the goal pace feels comfortable, but I think that’s still a good thing and will make your race experience a very enjoyable one.
