Just come across your channel and subbed. We reckon the best approach is even splitting in order to achieve that sub 3:10. Dawn is in Red B but aiming for a more conservative 3:25ish and a chance of an F55 England Masters place.

Thanks so much - much appreciated. Running 42x 4:30 kms does scare me a little which is why I'm inclined to be a bit cautious at the start in case I need to abort a 3:10 attempt but thinking if 4:37's are fine for the first 5km, then I can press on. That would be a fantastic achievement - all the very best! See you on Sunday!

Really enjoyed this series. Think you’ve been really sensible with your planning and your execution has been really good as well. I’ll be at Manchester around the Chorlton area so I’ll look out for you - what’s your wave start time and what vest will you be in?

Scratch the vest comment, I got keen with the comment! Don’t think you’re being too cautious. Just check to see how the pacers are pacing it - even, negative or positive splits - and if it’s evens you’re sound!

Best of luck, Mart! Sounds very smart on paper. But as you know from that last run, the best laid plans are hard to follow (in the first km anyway!) 😅 I hope you do execute the strategy that you’ve planned, because I really want to see how it works for you, and then potentially copy it 😂 (paces adjusted down to my level, of course)

Thanks very much Kathryn. All my best executed races up to the half marathon are all slight negative split. I’m not the sort of person who enjoys the thought of 3+ hours extreme hard work 😂. What marathon are you running? Hope the training is going well

Thanks! Eyeing up a late autumn one perhaps; I ran a couple several years ago (Paris = 3:37, London = 3:49) but didn’t know what I was doing, and my London race ‘strategy’ was exactly what you said that you don’t like 😂 - out too fast, hanging on, and I barely remember a thing except pain!! Have learnt so much more about running in recent years, smashed some PBs in 5K (21:57) and 10K (47:59) this spring, so hoping to step back up again to the half and/or full! Thanks for all your helpful videos and tips, and good luck once again for Manchester!!!
