The schedule called for Rest or cross-training today so I went easy. Tomorrow I have a Lactate threshold 8 miles with 4 miles at 15k/half marathon race pace. I better figure out what all that stuff means before tomorrow.
Nice job there,make it moving.

Nice job Stuart! If I were you, I'd just run easy, do your best on your 5K, and then get Daniel's Running formula, which explains many of these things very clearly. Best of all, if you have a good 5K race under your belt, you plug it into the chart to figure out the proper pace for tempos, 15K/half-marathon, intervals...etc.

Also...just to add, are you using Advanced Marathoning (8miles with 4 at 15K/HM pace would be typical of that book). If so, in my opinion, those schedules are very well designed, with the caveat that one doesn't exactly know how to pace them...thus my Daniel's suggestion. But again, just my 2 cents!

Just run it easy tomorrow Stuart, and focus the energy on running a good 5K. After the 5K is done we'll get a good idea of what your training paces should be.

I will keep an eye on how you do tomorrw. Go pump that lactate in your veins!

@William/Stefan/Alain, yes I am using Adv. Marathoning, and I think I have this spreadsheet, but I need a race to get a meaningful number. I appreciate all the advice/input I can get. I believe my marathon pace will end up being 6:20/km give or take 15 sec. I'm using the spreadsheet and tweaking based on my response. It's difficult because: 1. I probably was borderline overtraining last week for my fitness level/weight. 2. The weather has been overly hot and humid. 3. I need a calibration race.
