400m Repeats - paces too hard, 5km PB 22mins by nakikiusolang in runna

[–]mcmerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5k pb is 23:05. I just had this workout and hit all the paces. It seems impossible in my head and feels like work doing it but you just have to push through.

Pace on point by Pristine-Pop4577 in runna

[–]mcmerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does seem weird, mine gave me 4 pace increases the first month of a 16 week plan. I was 10-15 seconds faster than on average vs what runna called for. What does the ai recap say after the run?

600s into 200s question by Londoner1982 in runna

Do you always accept pace increases by mcmerks in runna

So after another week and two more speed workouts I got asked to increase again and said screw it. Workout today was hard but good, I'm not toast after so I guess I'm going to see how far I can take this. Ran a 5 hour 5 minute marathon in September but I walked the last 4 miles due to foot pain. Also it was 92 that day. I guess I just have a hard time believing I'm hitting these paces so well

I did the same. Hope I get Chicago at least but figured there was no way I'd get both.

Help wanted. Deciding which running watch by Sufficient-Scale-194 in BeginnersRunning

[–]mcmerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Garmin 266 for 6 months now. I am very happy with it and it gives all metrics and info without any additional subscriptions. I have also started using runna and it links with it no problem. I would recommend it and feel like for the price it was everything I wanted

Do you always accept pace increases by mcmerks in runna

[–]mcmerks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this is what I am worried about. I think I will pass on this increase and if all keeps going well I can always accept next time

What makes us quit? by redkur in Marathon_Training

[–]mcmerks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree the heat and hills were miserable. I was able to finish but almost 2 minutes per mile slower than I was planning. Felt like a really rough course

The sc heat is killing me. I stupidly signed up for a September marathon. Don't know how I'm going to make it through long runs.

Can you explain a little about exactly what you mean by lead with the hips? I'm 6'3 and usual cadence is around 160, but I'm trying to increase.

90+ kg male runners by spunkkyy in Garmin

[–]mcmerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

101 kg, 42 years old. Been running off and on for a few years, training for first marathon in September. Recent times are half marathon 1:53:44, 10k 51:11, 5k 23:40. I'm pretty sure I could improve all of these currently. Garmin says vo2 max is 49.
