PMP my run

[marathondan]

When was your 10K time set Dan? Am just wondering if it's fair to base your current long run target times on a PB that might have been set when you were at your peak. Wouldn't it be fairer to run a 10K race now, or a tempo 10K in training, then base your long run guide time on that?

I just checked - apparently it was in Sept 07 (not a period that I would consider my peak) and it was faster than I thought.

Personally, I'm not that interested in predictors*. I think once you've got a few races of varying distances under your belt then you can judge pretty well the way things are going. You just need to keep repeating the cycle of training and testing yourself. In my case, I know what I did last time, and I'm pretty much aiming to repeat that, by doing pretty much the same training.

Sweder, with a 1:39 HM in the bank I guess you're off the hook as a mincing middle-distancer . (I must confess, I like 10Ks. But then, I like tutus.)

Gideon -- how intensive a training program are you following? Which marathon are you training for?
