April Marathon Month

[ladyrunner]

In fact I'm thinking of a serious PB attempt next year, possibly at Brighton, using precisely this strategy.

Bring it on ......

(Consults recently constructed spreadsheet.) 4 min run @ 8 MM then 35 sec walk @ 10 MM equates to a 3:36 marathon, which is pretty damn tasty. But I don't know whether I can sustain those paces (or even achieve them in the first place, in the case of the walk).

That seems very fast paces for both the run and the walk. I estimate that to do my 3:54 marathon I was running at 8:40-45 MM pace and walking at about 11:00-30 MM. 10:00 MM is very fast walking (race walking i would think)?? Mine was 2km run followed by 1min walk.

We need to write an excel formular to work this out properly!!
