Same run as Monday - this time marginally quicker (9.5kms in 39:51 or 4:13/km). Damp conditions but not cold and for once no wind to speak of.
Out in the evening for a game of snooker. Highest break of 43 - should have been a lot more but played a poor positional shot for the black and that was that. Looks so bloody easy on the Roger Mellie...

Good to see the training's going smoothly Matt! What is the best way to ascertain the pace/effort for these runs, is it just simply get out there and go on autopilot? What pace were these run at when you were a 3:00 marathoner?
Gary, I'd say I was nearer 4:30 per km when I was a 3:00 marathon runner. As I got fitter the cruising speed reduced.
I think autopilot is a good way to go about it. You won't always run the same pace on your easy runs so no point trying to force it. Just go with what feels comfortable on the day.
Good luck with your training. Matt
