If you are ...Good to know where you're at Stephen.<br /><br />If you are looking to a goal race later in the year you're starting at a good place.<br /><br />Why the 3KTTs and not the 5KTTs that the Japanese tend to favor? I am also going to start my 3KTTs from this coming Tuesday but as I have a goal race in August I expect to be a little faster. <br /><br />I've always done 3KTT as when I was with Pat Carroll he had them monthly in my program, but I never really liked them as they always hurt especially the first few.<br /><br />I've been having a look at your training logs and I think I can see why you run such good marathons and I don't. It's because you run consistent weekly long runs, over 30km, and you do many decent runs at marathon pace.<br /><br />I've only ever ran marathon pace, for any extended period on marathon day.<br /><br />From now I'm going to do decent marathon pace runs of under or around 4:00 min per K at about the same fequency you were doing them before your good races and see how that goes.<br /><br />I think I can handle the pace, I haven't got a problem with my speed, just my endurance at a good pace needs to be worked on.<br /><br />The thing I find hard about doing the longer runs at this pace is keeping focus, my mind tends to wander and I will automatically slow down.<br /><br />Anyway all the best with your build up. It's going to be a long hot summer here so your bound to be tough and fit come race season if you keep up what you've started.Samurai Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295160713705142193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-58285252456728601982009-05-08T18:39:00.000+09:002009-05-08T18:39:00.000+09:00Ewen, yeah I think that it is a nice simple indica...Ewen, yeah I think that it is a nice simple indicator, and HR data would also be helpful, but basically I will just try to run it "very hard"...like 5k race pace or faster. I didn't have a monitor on Wed, but I know I was right up where I needed to be to call it a time trial. The slower third km given how hard I was running was the most telling thing for me. When I get fitter that last km will be faster I am sure.Stephen Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985763302279648129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-63295319847363123262009-05-08T18:28:00.000+09:002009-05-08T18:28:00.000+09:00Those trails sound just like the technical section...Those trails sound just like the technical sections of 6' - all 9k of them!<br /><br />Interesting about the monthly 3k time trial. Do you intend running them at a set HR, or as fast as possible? I'm just wondering how you're going to judge improvement month to month? Sounds easier than the Hadd 2400m test - that worries me more than a race!<br /><br />(have checked email follow-up, so post here if you like)Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-15767851509651331252009-05-07T08:45:00.000+09:002009-05-07T08:45:00.000+09:00So that is where you are at!
