Good idea to give it a go over a shorter distance first. I think I'll be doing my main training runs every morning from now on, so on the odd occasion that I can get to the track on a Wednesday evening I can use it for lower mileage efforts like that.Stephen Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985763302279648129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-81982856777450383772007-09-04T20:26:00.000+09:002007-09-04T20:26:00.000+09:00The 200/200 doesn't sound that easy.

Maybe have a try over 5 laps one day to see if it looks like your HR is recovering enough in the slow 200s.<BR/><BR/>If this is mainly a biomechanical low lactate session, the 43 sec 200s are the important bit. You'd probably want to keep the average HR under 90%. I'm thinking about trying 150/200 for maybe 8k. The HR doesn't get up that high over 150m but I can still run at 5k race pace.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-13415136967256238112007-09-03T19:27:00.000+09:002007-09-03T19:27:00.000+09:00This good milage base has got to make a positive d...This good milage base has got to make a positive difference to your next marathon time, all other things being equal. And if you can manage that sort of effort for August the next two months or so you may be able to better that effort in the improved running conditions here during the "fall"!<BR/><BR/>So keep it up,don't fall, and enjoy the rest of your build up.Samurai Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295160713705142193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-67481818802797273602007-09-03T17:05:00.000+09:002007-09-03T17:05:00.000+09:00Argh ...

I'm pretty keen to give it a try some Wednesday night. So, were you thinking of something like 42 sec for the "on" 200 m and 60 sec for the "off" 200? I think I could almost do that. Or maybe 44 and 58, though it is questionable as to how slow is slow enough to recover. I feel that Hadd intends that you go quite slow...4:50/km is not exactly a light jog.Stephen Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985763302279648129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15317841.post-53520208223812555472007-09-03T14:28:00.000+09:002007-09-03T14:28:00.000+09:00It's just a home brew from a big home.

With that under your belt, how about Hadd's 25 laps of 200/200 fartlek for speedwork?
