Felt a little bit better this morning than I have this week. Good news I'm getting out of the cold and smog for 2 weeks, bad news it's in Vegas. Worst running city in the world, and the Palazzo gym doesn't open until like 7 or 8, to late either way to get in before work. So starting Sunday it's going to be endless 2.5 miles loops around the Wynn Golf course for me :( Here is a question that is probably dumb, and I've probably read it but I don't know the answer so I'm putting it out there. 12 weeks out from the marathon, when I'm running at "marathon pace" should that be my current marathon pace based on effort and HR or do I run it at my goal marathon pace? HR for marathon pace based on calculations I made in much better shape are 151bpm - 168bpm. Currently my goal MP of < 6:20 puts me around 172bpm, which I still think something is wrong with me and that will go down. but way, way to high never the less. | Distance | Time | Split Time
