OMG - I've missed sooo much fun
I've been away with work and ill so only had my first run today for a week...
However, am still on plan for the big M (shhhh) and have a long training plan mapped out, which involves only 14 miles this week which is nice as I'm still finding the chest/nose/cold a bit of an issue...
How I've missed you guys! A brief fill in would be lovely...go on Rich you know you want to.
Whatever do you mean?
We've missed you by the way - how was Liverpool? Lots of empty houses when I was there a few weeks ago!
PS Its nice to see the Big M (shhhh) target has survived a few days of mulling over - you must be up for it!Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j

Well, comp not been working and sadly not missed:p
Did a practise walk today, comp said it was 7.3 miles at 1hr 30mins, but OH says I couldn't have covered that distance in that time
, I was happy thinking it was 5miles, but still think I'm doing OK, s*d him :mad: had a cuppa quick soak in bath then back to work, 1.3miles in 22mins. I'm going for the slowest member who's proud of what I've done today, oopps I feel another song coming on:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Hi to all the newbies, I'm the mad one who can't run:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

The +30secs/mile per distance is based on 10mins/mile 10K pace.
This becomes +15secs/mile per distance based on 5mins/mile 10K pace.
So you should be allowing +24secs/mile per distance.
Not that complicated really - it is worth understanding though because there is a very accurate relationship between the distances.
My PB paces: 5K 5:14, 10K 5:23, 10Miles 5:33, 1/2 Mar 5:40, Marathon 6:26
Now by looking at these I know I have some 'unfinished business' with the marathon. It is 'out of line' and should be closer to 6:00.
Obviously variations of course come in and other factors but there is still a strong predictive factor between different distances.

Sally,
Don't worry about that.
Its just a way of converting your 10K time to your potential for other distances.
Don't get a headache over it - it just means if you've run a 10k you can accurately predict your times for 10miles and half marathons in the coming weeks.Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j
