Maybe focusing on a shorter distance (like a HM) for the first cycle?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987330658996774290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-29845108914315021662015-02-26T11:46:24.622-08:002015-02-26T11:46:24.622-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.thenofxlagwagonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668397556157562999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-23041692086585051482015-01-03T11:17:02.863-08:002015-01-03T11:17:02.863-08:00SJ great question!

Going into the specific phase I adjust my goal pace based on the workouts I am doing. I look to the specific workouts and at the end of the base assess what I could honestly do for marathon specific workouts at that point and that becomes my goal pace. <br /> Going into the base it is a little tougher I look at recent race performances and workouts which I know from experience I can gauge my fitness very well. Once you have a race or workout that you can use to accurately set fitness you can use the guideline that you slow about 5% as you double the distance. Now if you are a real strong runner you might be able to slow about 3% as you double the distance. I hope that helps!<br />nateruns@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851427962048556845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-78055970314965310282015-01-03T08:11:26.401-08:002015-01-03T08:11:26.401-08:00Nate

What benchmarks do you use in the base phase to identify "goal pace" or perhaps identify "potential stretch goal pace" Thanks for these write ups.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194003135347525809noreply@blogger.com
