Your pace or mine!


Nine days to my marathon and my thoughts are on what my actual pace is going to be. As my long run mileage has dropped my pace has got quicker and last Sunday I ran an old favourite race of mine Market Drayton 10 and got achieved my fastest 10k in 5 years and a course pb!!

So the temptation is to change my goal from a 4 something to a 3 something at the beginning of my finish time; perhaps I could go for a 3:50 … but this is a dangerous game because then you find yourself looking up London marathon good for age time (cough 3:53) ***looks away whistling 😗 ***

But 26.2 is a long way to go and anything can happen so I’m not considering changing my marathon time goal of a 4 something. Ideally a low 4 something as my A  goal and anything starting with 4 as my B goal. 

So my pace is going to  be 9:15 and see how I get on, this should give me a around 4:03ish time so let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Now to keep injury free and try and relax over the few days
