I have been reading Matt Fitzgerald Brain Training for Runners and really like it, so I am going to try the level 1 Half Marathon training program, I really do not have any race in mind but I need something formal to follow just so I am not just doing hard workout which looking at my log that is all I have been doing and that will be setting my self up for injury again.
So what I did is look at my best time for 5K, 1oK, HM and Marathon and then decide on where I want to be within reason. Below are my current best times
5K 29:56
10K 1:06:12 Trail, got lost twice
HM 2:15:10 2 weeks after another hilly HM
Marathon 4:55:06 Walked most of 2nd half due to current injury
Goal:
5K 25:46
10K 53:29
HM 1:58:34
Marathon 4:04:50
So I am going from a target pace level of 49-50 to 43, anything lower I believe will not be challenging with those target goal my running paces are
Recovery 12.12 - 10.52
Base 10.51 - 9.54
Marathon 9.20
HM 9.02
10K 8.36
5K 8.17
3K 8.03
1 mile 7.38
Am going to start the training on 2/9 with Saturday for the long runs and not Sunday, I will add in races to be at the miles needed for the long run or below.
