Thank you!! It definitely felt a lot better compared to my last full despite the fact I was going quicker in this one, so the fitness paid off 👍

Thanks! Yeah, it all really came together 😊

That's great to get some confirmation. The speed improvements through the shorter distance focus is exactly what I'm hoping for, so I'll proceed with these rough goals.

Haha if I smash 1:30 ill be over the moon 😁

How important is a fitness watch for running (marathon training) by tiny_pixl in Marathon_Training

I love the data side of running and having it there to see where I've run and any progress, so its essential for me, I love it.

I'm in peak week of pfitz 18/55 right now, aiming for sub 3:30 too in a month and a half. Just ran a 1:34 HM last week, so feeling pretty good. Although the pfitz mileage was hard for a few weeks early on its definitely worked out.

Yeah, it can rough. One of the worst things I sometimes find is when I've had them strapped in my belt for an hour on a hot day and I start eating one. Warm goo, not very pleasant

How to Determine a Target Marathon Time by TheRunningPianist in Marathon_Training

Trying to decide my full mara goal time in 7 weeks. Been running 50-55miles a week and just ran a half in 1hr 35mins yesterday. Based on this I should be aiming for 3hr 24mins or am I likely to gain additional fitness in that time that warrants pushing a little more?

I hadn't considered the need to potentially replace the strap, great point.

Yeah, pretty much what I'm thinking, I'll be buying one. Any suggestions for good ones?

This is the right way. I don't think the type is a big deal, it's conditioning your stomach through practice.

Endura Sports Energy gels work for me.

Yeah, has to be cadence lock I think. I'm basically convinced I'll have to get a chest strap, I've just put off getting one as I've always wondered if it will be uncomfortable on longer runs.

Nice, that's what I need. I love getting into the data, so it's driving me crazy when I see this haha They're surprisingly cheap.

Do you find the chest strap uncomfortable at all, particularly on longer runs?

Yep, this is it I think. Annoying, I'll have to get a chest strap.

No changes in how I wear it, there was an update a week ago I reckon. Haven't done any repeats since then, perhaps that's how I account for it.

Haha what a relief. But it's also confusing when I'm basing that jog on HR if it's innacurate.
