++++++++++++++++++
I took your advice and did 8 miles total, with the 10K at steady half-marathon pace (it’s a new pace for me, about 0:45 faster per mile than I’ve run HMs before I joined MN.) I focused on keeping an even 180 cadence even on the hills, and made a new PR for that particular race. It was challenging at certain points, but I think I’m beginning to get a better handle on pacing – I knew I wasn’t ready to sustain tempo pace the whole way (yet), but was encouraged to see that I could in fact keep going at my new and improved HM pace.
I really appreciate you taking the time to give me advice – I’m pretty new at this “fasterness” — was stuck in LSD mode for years, and didn’t really know how to focus my training to improve. I am really amazed at how quickly this training program is taking effect!
Thanks.”
