Hey Scott. At what stage in your 25k run would you slot in that 10k at marathon pace? And with HR, do you aim to race at 80% your maximum HR? Hokkaido will be amazing ... don't forget your camera. We demand at least a couple of vlogs ;-)
Hi Mark. I usually start these runs at the 10th or 15th K. I don't know really what % of MHR I can easily sustain over the marathon. I wonder what elite guys hold? Anyone know?
Yes I'll take the opportunity to make a few on location video blog posts. Looks like a great city and really looking forward to our trip there.
Nice to hear that training is going well. I hate to sound a negative note, but don't be shocked if it is not much cooler in Hokkaido. I believe that temperatures in that race are often in the mid to high 20s. Perhaps you should have a plan/goal B for hot weather.
Enjoyed the video Scott. You're looking sick, which is a good sign I think!
I think the elite runners do marathons pretty easy on the HR side of things. I recall Steve Lacey mentioning a Japanese elite marathoner who ran with them saying how low his HR was. Also Lasse Viren in that video mentioned a very low HR while running fast. I think it's the legs, fat burning and basic speed that are their limitations.
Thanks everyone, I will be looking at a plan "B" for the hot weather. Going to ask Marty about what he does and might even have a Vlog on it in the next few weeks. Yuki Kawauchi ran about 10 minutes slower than is possible for him there last year but it wasn't a hugh race for him and he was running by himself for the last of it.
