Great stuff, thanks guys.
I repeated last Thursday's "mini-taper" tempo run this morning in Greenwich Park, and managed to run the same pace (5:46/m) for an extra mile, 5 rather than 4 (9 miles total), feeling a little more comfortable. I often measure my tempo efforts by whether I can maintain a 2/2 breathing pattern (breathe in for 2 steps, out for 2), without resorting to 2 in/1 out, which seems to correspond roughly to ~MP vs. threshold intensity or quicker, and I managed to hold on all the way today, so that was pleasing. Looks like I'll be blowing out me arse on Saturday. Should be fun.
