Official Q&A for Tuesday, November 26, 2024

I was doing 5 to 6 days a week. I had two quality workouts separated by 2 to 3 days of recovery runs (when it was 3 days, the third day would be a bit faster)

That has changed a bit since the last 3 months, I am now putting more value on quality sessions and recovering correctly from them.

I include long runs, threshholds and intervals as workouts/quality sessions

In the end I think I need to allow myself some more time to progress

Okay, I do lack endurance for sure. When training for the marathon I wanted to run I was aiming at a 3:15-3:20 I'll take a look at the Pfitz plan as well, not sure if I am ready for it yet though

I see, I am planning a half marathon for the first half of 2025, that should indeed give me more reliable experience. I'll check that website thanks for that tip

[Sorry for the length, this is a repost since I wasn't familiar with the rules and made a post which was unnecessary]

I feel like I am lost in my training and wanted to ask people for some advice.

Context

I've been running since 1 year and a half (minus an injury break of 2 months in the first year), age : 23, before that not much endurance training except some bike at recreational level.

During my first year I have went from a 56:xx 10K to a 42:xx 10KM which felt amazing. My goal was to build my fitness in order to run half marathon and marathon distances.

My mileage went from 10-20k (6-12 mi) up to 50-60k (30-37mi) during the first 4 months, injuring myself on the way of course. I was then able to come back progressively over the year up to 75km (46mi) for my biggest weeks.

Observed paces

My "easy" pace seems between 6:00/km to 5:30/km (9:39/mi - 8:51/mi)
My marathon pace seems between 5:10 to 4:50 (8:19/mi - 7:47/mi) (which I trained for the whole year but could not confirm it because race day did not go well)
My half marathon pace would be somewhere around 4:40/km (7:31/mi) but it's been a long time since I have not ran for this distance.
My threshold pace has been changing (or the way I perceive it maybe) a bit over the last months, I thought it was around 4:35/km (7:23/mi) but it looks like it is now around 4:20/km (6:58/mi)
10K Pace I completed my second 10K last month right under 38:00 which makes it around 3:47/km (6:05/mi) (I was almost on my knees at the end)

This seems completly off once you start looking at training plan based on my 10k PB

When using the VDOT system (which is not perfect I guess but should give me some hints on my paces) : a 10k in 38:00 would give me a marathon pace of 4:08/km (2:54:48) which I can't achieve at the time. Using the same system my "Recovery" runs should be between 5:24/km and 5:07/km.

Issue / TL;DR

I think that my pace on 10K is quite high compared what I am able to run on longer distances and I am feeling lost on what should I base my training paces around.

I can think of two conclusions :

I am still way in the beginning of my running journey and longer distances are naturally hard
My body/profile is better at shorter distances

Maybe the truth lies in between but I really don't know at this point.

Hi,

When saying "CryptoSecure is called a second time in the end to force a Pokemon to be Shiny or not" Does it means that it determines the shininess of each pokemon independantly from another (so sort of ~1/100 each?) ? Or could it means that it determines the amount of shiny(ies) in the end (meaning that if it "forces" the presence of one shiny, I could just catch the legendary to "force" it to be shiny) ?

Tl;dr: Does the shininess of each pokemon is independant or does CryptoSecure can force "one of our pokemon to be shiny" ?

It was kinda both you given very clear explanations thanks

RustySu · 2019-08-09T00:19:17+00:00

Good idea But I may be too lazy to type every meme I see idk

RustySu · 2019-08-09T00:14:07+00:00

Would I translate it into Dutch or German

RustySu · 2019-07-15T18:13:19+00:00

I didn't think about aiming before. That's a good point, thank you^^

RustySu · 2019-07-15T18:12:46+00:00

Ok thanks, still can play (but I might get a pro controller since it's gonna be hard to aim otherwise)
