I've been signed up for a hilly half mid-October, which is going to be my first event run for at least two years, which means that for.once in have a target for training.
I ran a 1:50 back in 2014, so I'm going to aim for similar this year. In flat terms, I reckon that's about a 1:40 (for training pace purposes).
There's a 10k in mid-Sept that would serve as a good checkpoint, and I reckon if I can run 45 for that, I'll be on track.
I'm already sacking off a rep session today though, as I'm knackered and my legs are tired and I have any number of other excuses prepared. I'll probably ditch some easy runs, if I'm commuting a lot, and focus on the spped / tempo work on non-commute days.
