What’s your half marathon pace?


8:15 in the Mercedes half marathon last year. Have the Bridge St half marathon this year in April.

Had a 7:25 5K this year. Goal is to get my 5K/10K pace below 7 mins. I turn 50 this year btw.


80/20 is a well established training protocol. Did hill repeats for my speed work last night. 6 sprints for 2 mins each at or above 5K pace. Will have a threshold run in there too which for me is a 140-150 HR which is in the 9-11 min range.

Same, ultimately I'd love to go sub 21:00 but that will take a while. 42 here. OP I have the same issue as you, hard to slow myself down. Got a 5k coming up in a couple of weeks so we'll see if there are any results from this 5 weeks or so of training I've been doing.

What are your "hill repeats"? was this 6 hill runs that took 2min each? what grade is the hill?

if your threshold run is only 140-150 hr something is wrong or you just don't run hard.

BTW everyone knows you're almost 50. not sure why you always mention this.
