But I have to agree with some of the other comments -- your actual race pace is almost certainly going to be much faster than your long training run pace average. Here's a pacing calculator I like to use: <a href="http://www.runbayou.com/jackd.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.runbayou.com/jackd.htm</a>. It's based on Jack Daniels' Running Formula, and we all know how good his whiskey is! :-)Bill Doltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327506642979936197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-76640051088711911802011-02-28T08:11:49.775-05:002011-02-28T08:11:49.775-05:00You absolutely earned that day off!!!

You're not too far off so just keep working at it. You'll get there!fancy nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645116527352135569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-16863987122806557472011-02-28T02:13:05.406-05:002011-02-28T02:13:05.406-05:00Yeah the 2 hour nap is good - as we are often out ...Yeah the 2 hour nap is good - as we are often out in the afternoon he's the same - not nearly as long.<br /><br />Good job on the workouts! Hoping to have a better week this week (had a cracking weekend now I'm over the cold). <br /><br />Setting your Garmin to a pace is a good idea BUT your long run should be slower than your goal pace so you don't burn out (60-75secs slower). Your speed should come from speed work and tempo runs. You can also inject some goal pace or slightly faster within your long run (3-4 miles or 2 blocks of 2 miles or last 3 miles etc)but if you're running all your long runs at race pace you are essentially racing every week! V exhausting. You'll hit race pace on the day as you're not running alone - they'll be tonnes of folk around you!<br /><br />Are you swimming 3200metres? MY goodness - good effort - HOW?????!!!! You must be a really good swimmer!Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681949979941583308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-58754817321410211482011-02-28T00:40:26.519-05:002011-02-28T00:40:26.519-05:00Check out this site for calculating your pace: htt...Check out this site for calculating your pace: http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm<br /><br />I put in my half marathon time (which I ran at about 9min/mile pace) and it says my long distance runs should be between 10min-11min/mile pace. Not sure what your goal time for your race is, but maybe this site will help you gauge where you should be at. You should also be able to set some sort of alert on your garmin watch to let you know when you're falling off your pace as well, but I've never tried it.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867751227734930725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-48564975506891224122011-02-27T23:51:30.585-05:002011-02-27T23:51:30.585-05:00Love the pic of Nick at the top!

We will open our pool the first week in April, so there is hope.<br />And, I ran my first 5K on Saturday and had a 8:32 min/mile pace, which was faster than even my best solo run pace. You can do it!Kristan Shimpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04417475185078076257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-70257537973787195982011-02-27T20:23:30.295-05:002011-02-27T20:23:30.295-05:00Nice job on such a solid week of workouts!Nice job on such a solid week of workouts!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.com
