I loved this session so much! I picked the perfect day as well. As you mentioned I put a little more effort each interval. Hope the pace was ok. Once the body was warmed up, naturally going faster (I guess it depends on the distance)
Enjoyable session! Thank you ☺️
Great session Manami. Pacing is the most important thing with marathons. Go too fast in the early stages and it’s likely we will blow up at the end. So if I was being super critical, then perhaps, yes the pace was a little hot here at times (3:45 pace). Which is fine for 15km, but unlikely to be sustainable for 42km. As these sessions get longer though I think you’ll inevitably slow down a bit. So I’m not saying it to be negative but just something to be wary of as the training progresses. For you marathon pace should actually feel pretty comfortable and will do on race day, until 20 miles, when suddenly it will feel awful, but you should have enough energy then saved to finish off the last 6 miles. Hope that makes sense. Fantastic running again though.
