Below Paces based on 1:46:54 Half Marathon at 8:09 pace/mile.

Marathon Pace is 8:35/mile at 79-88% MHR.

LT is 7:48-8:09 pace/mile (12k – Half Marathon Pace) at 82-91% MHR.

General Aerobic (Easy) is 9:05-9:35 pace/mile at 70-81% MHR.

Recovery is 10:05-10:35 pace/mile at <76% MHR.

 

Scheduled:

8 miles at 8:45 (3 x 1600 at 8:20 with 3:00 Rest).

Done: At 5:39 am - the Broadway Out and Back Route.

7.04 miles at 8:39 pace per mile in 1:00:56 at 147 bpm on avg for avg 84% MHR.

 

I did a 2.01 mile warm up at 8:31 pace (4 seconds faster than Marathon Pace).  I was going for 8:45s. 

 

Then the 3 x 1600s with 3:00 Recovery were done.

The 1600s (split 2, 4, and 6 above) were done at 8:00 pace/mile.  They were done at 155 bpm on avg. for 89% MHR.  This is at the high end of Lactate Threshold MHR intensity.

 

The 3:00 Recovery periods were done within Recovery pace range (10:04, 10:27, 10:11).

 

The 10 minute cool down done at General Aerobic pace (split 8 for 1.07 miles at 9:27)

 

A Great workout! 

 

Question:

What would be the best pace for the Warm Up portion? Marathon Pace seems kind of hard and I am wondering if I can do the 3 x 1600s at a quicker pace if the Warm Up portion is slower than Marathon Pace.  The question: how much slower?

I believe the 3:00 rest portions are okay at Recovery Pace. 

I suspect the cool down is okay to do at General Aerobic pace.
