The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
30 mile weeks are comfortable for me right now but not really varying my pace much, just hanging between 7:30- and 8:00 miles. 4 more weeks and I start my marathon plan.

What have you been running?
If you want to improve, you have to test/max out all your systems.
Going out every time and running the same distance at the same effort isn't going to improve your running.
Go out and try to run a mile in 8:15. Then go out and run 5 at 10:00 to 10:30 pace.
One of those runs is testing your lactate threshold and the other is testing how your body stores/burns fuel (glycogen).
Interesting...I'm almost positive I can run an 8:15 mile since I know I won't have to sustain that pace after 1 mile. I've also run 5 at around the 10-10:30 pace...but that was a few times here and there on a treadmill

Spring weather and a few days of good running have me feeling aggressive about my marathon goals. I think I'm gonna try to hold a conservative (8:00/mile) pace for the first 15 miles where all the hills and boring stretches of the course are, then hit the gas for miles 16-26.2. Hopefully end up averaging around 7:45/mile. The last 10 miles are all downhill, I'll see my family twice during that stretch, and they'll have a bunch of music and and shit downtown near the end to look forward to. Starting to get hyped.
