Potentially although it’s a bit hard to separate..
MAF pace increased at the end of December, towards the end of a build of volume up from 60k weeks up to 80+k weeks, the drop down again has coincided with the increase of speed work, but that’s also timed with better eating, no alcohol and resulting better sleep and weight loss.
Generally avg pace trended nicely down with increasing MAF runs and volume, from June to December.

Having pretty religiously followed MAF running from June last year, it is frustrating but it does work...
My MAF pace has gone from nearly 6min kms down to less than 5, interestingly around Christmas it went back up to 5:15 but seems to be dropping down again now.
Now that I have some top end work back in it has taken a while to get speed in the legs and that massively felt like the limiting factor as I just didn’t have the strength to move my legs faster than 3:45 per km, but as I said that’s changing and was pretty pleased to knock out some kms reps last week in the 3:30s
