I'm glad to hear you thought the long track workout was good because it makes me so nervous.

Good luck!<br /><br />And RunCoach lets you base on recent past times, which is how it gave me the pace chart. Mine is based on a recent half where I felt good. I need to look more into setting a specific time goal, but it's definitely working with pace targets.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086887061737386391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962382630559934764.post-38838469610565121432014-08-07T13:36:55.384-07:002014-08-07T13:36:55.384-07:00Good idea to use the partner's plan, although ...Good idea to use the partner's plan, although time based would be hard for me to get used to also.

I am training for my first marathon that will be on December 27; have a half in the middle on October 24, so we'll see! You're going to do great; can't wait to hear more!

I've been using it for about 2 years now & I've run so many PRs since it forced me to step up my training & actually do something research-based & not resort to the "shit I Googled on the internet" plan. In my marathon plan the longest track workouts were 11 miles, which is tough, but I think really key, because it's usually in the form of "do some intervals to get tired" + "run for a while at goal pace while tired" + "run some more hard intervals". They are hard, but never as hard as I expect them to be. And I do love the adjustable-ness of it, so if you do find it to be too aggressive, you can always change your profile or shoot one of the coaches an email to do it for you. It's worked out really well for me so I hope you see good results!Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962382630559934764.post-5200250247043579162014-08-06T09:23:35.265-07:002014-08-06T09:23:35.265-07:00I'm in week two of training for my 3rd half co...I'm in week two of training for my 3rd half coming up in October. I have a pretty ambitious plan to shave 9 minutes off my PR (to bring me in under 2 hours). I'm using a Nike+ training plan and it's pretty aggressive, running 6 days a week, and I'm already a little tired just looking at the plan. I'm just trying to remind myself that you can't make huge changes without a big investment of time and effort<br /><br />Does Run Coach offer plans based on desired finish time?

It's weird because it's time based, not mile based so that's taking some getting used to! Good luck with your training, I can't wait to follow along!Cecilia @ MommiesRunhttp://www.mommiesrun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962382630559934764.post-53501926088784246712014-08-05T21:24:33.607-07:002014-08-05T21:24:33.607-07:00Way to go.
