RE: Stable April
They say that your long training runs should be anything between 30 and 90 sec / mile slower than your target race pace. My marathon this year came in about a quarter of an hour faster than training pace, i.e. about half a minute per mile. I think Sweder's came in closer to a full minute per mile faster. I reckon you're in better shape than both of us! But of course you don't want to set a really aggressive target. But that's one way to come up with your target... take your training pace, pick a number, and subtract. I guess you have the added complication that a lot of your long runs are on the treadmill, which doesn't translate directly to road. Although maybe you can come up with a factor for converting between the two?
I like the ad - apart from the fact that they don't look like real runners; they're too attractive and their clothes are too stylish - we've had plenty of that weather in the south of England recently (it came in as soon as a drought warning was issued, naturally).
