Less than four weeks to Frankfurt and finally proper marathon training is starting to feel comfortable. 19 miles total yesterday, including 5 miles easy am, then evening interval session with added tempo; 2M @ 5:40, then straight into 20x400 (100 recovery), all 76-78s. I'm not kidding myself that 5:40 felt like marathon pace but it was a lot more comfortable than I was expecting. 10 miles easy planned for this evening, then I should have a better idea about what "MP" might actually be after tomorrow when I attempt more laps of Sutcliffe Park, hopefully for 12 miles fast, and ~21 for the day.
