| Apr 11, 2013 at 18:02 | comment | added | Ryan Miller | @geoffc i'm sure there is a reason for that, finding it may be difficult (fitness? muscular endurance? form? etc). i've been there too and was able to improve my endurance by working with a great coach - and am still improving. best of luck to you. | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 15:26 | comment | added | geoffc | @RyanMiller I could never run the 3:30 marathon pace, even in training. I ran a 1:50 half as my best ever. A 47 minute 10K. But never could hold it for long enough. | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 13:52 | comment | added | Ryan Miller | @geoffc - I've seen this before. Do you fade in the marathon, or do you have trouble getting to that marathon pace for a 3:30? | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 17:04 | comment | added | geoffc | I find it amusing that I am a total outlier on Yasso 800's. I have run fairly consistent 800's in training, over 8 years or so, around 3:30's. But my best Marathon time ever is 4:07. But then I accept I am an outlier on many things. (Big and heavy). | |

| Apr 9, 2013 at 17:49 | comment | added | Ryan Miller | no doubt. i think both approaches are reasonable depending on the athlete. and there may be other approaches that work too, for instance running 2 miles, walking 1 mile, etc. | |
| Apr 9, 2013 at 17:16 | comment | added | Tonny Madsen | Whether you should have a constant pace or increase your pace underway, seems to be a longstanding debate with almost religious undertones :-) I prefer to keep my pace throughout the race where possible. And speed up the 2-3 kms if I have the energy for it. | |
