Running this afternoon with the sun out (low temp) was a treat!
It has been a while since I enjoyed a run as much.

Today was a 15-mile run @ marathon pace (8min/mile). In January I was struggling to do 4 miles at this pace, so that shows some progress. Still another 11 miles to do on top of that on the day though - and I'm still some way off being able to a) run 26-miles and b) run 26-miles at that pace!
Got some new running socks - which I know is exciting news.

Excellent, very fetching..and durable if the 1000mile claim is true.

they overbook the marathon airline style expecting pullouts rather than reallocating places late on

Dan, do u know of any way of binking a late entry into the London race??? Been looking online for withdrawals etc and cannot find any. Surely out of a huge amount of runners there'll be some dropouts??? Only a charity place, and you'd have to pledge to raise about two grand. ps. sounds daft but have u fully followed the instructions on those socks. Advisable or they can go from being an invaluable purchase to your worst enemy!!!!
Don't worry. I'm pretty anal about my feet. That sounds wrong. |

Today was the last long-run in my schedule. 19 miles @ 8:05 pace. Got up at 5:15, which is a ridiculous time and headed off to Colwick Country Park, which is a lovely place to run and largely devoid of any human life at that time of the day.  Other than a few dog-walkers, some other idiot runners and the odd fisherman - it's largely just me and the wildlife. But like I said, that's the last of the long runs and my 'taper' begins. Next week my training schedule has me down to do a half-marathon distance and I'm thinking about entering a race to get some practice in the race preparation, etc. But knowing me, I'll just run round Colwick park next week as usual. A month to go... |

are you still using a forerunner? I need a little advice
I'm normally figuring out if I'm on pace by doing calculations based on time and distance but it's obv not ideal to keep doing this all the time
is the solution as simple as setting a data field to vp pace, changing the pace to 8.00 and then letting it tell me how far ahead/behind 8min/mile I am without me having to calculate anything anymore?

I'm still using my Forerunner - fancy getting a newer version, but will probably wait.
I don't do any calculations, well nothing too complex. But I don't have to.
On the 'main screen' I have it set to tell me the total time of my run (biggest part of the display), my current pace is in the bottom left corner, and the distance I've gone in the bottom right.
If I go 'up' a screen, I then get my average pace in the big display, with my current pace in the bottom left and the time of day in the bottom right.
I alternate between the two screens so I'm either focusing on the distance/time and current pace (most of the time) and then I switch to the other screen to see if I'm close to my average pace overall (and if I need to speed up or slow down).
Is that what you wanted to know?

nah, not really. wanted to know about the virtual partner but if you don't use it then I'll just experiment myself I have the exact same fields as you normally (except with pace and distance swapping corners) |
