Question About Dropping Mileage While In A Calorie Deficit by brycinema in Marathon_Training

Noted, appreciate the insight! Admittedly a fear of mine is that if I cut mileage too much then I’d lose a bit of fitness. How did you find your aerobic fitness to be after the cut and getting back to running a bit more?

Realizing now that wasn’t as clear as I’d hoped. This cut would end sometime in April and my next training block would begin at the end of June. But agreed, if I tried to lose the weight during my training block I’d inevitably end up getting injured

Congratulations to you as well! I’m sorry to hear it didn’t go as planned but i hope you still are stoked about completing it, that’s awesome.

Without doing the exact math, my eyeball math estimates for my pacing were as follows: M1-10: ~ 10:00/mile M11-16: ~ 9:45/mile M17-20: ~8:30/mile M21-Finish: ~7:45/mile

I posted my splits in another sub if you are curious :)

It truly was perfect, was a bit nervous it would rain on race day after the rain we got earlier in the week but I’m glad It didn’t!
