Just looking at my splits from this morning again, I guess although I've had a crap year racing I have actually managed to get quite a few miles under my belt and it seems to be paying off :)
My 1/2 marathon race pace is about 6:40 m/mile pace but in training if I can run at 7:00 m/miles and throw in a last gasp 6:50 final mile that's a great fast training run for me.
This morning I ran 10 miles and 8 of them were 6:30 m/miles with other 2 6:40s. I don't think I've ever run a 6:30 mile in training and it was easy, I just hope I can keep it going another 3 weeks and have a good Snowdon :)
