    There are some really formidable competitors among some of the guys who have running-themed You Tube Channels. Ben at the 5K and 10K races and Seth James DeMoor over in Colorado who does Marathons and Ultramarathons. Well done! Thank you for all of your excellent videos. Much appreciated.

      @@BenIsRunning I would just back you up in that approach! I had a great training block for 2:50, all the calculators told me I was ready to run even faster based off a HM performance the month before, I slammed into the wall at 30k and finished in 3:03.
      Part of that was some last minute injuries, but I think a big part was also just that it takes a long time to build the aerobic capacity at that distance. All the race-specific workouts and long runs I could fit into 16 weeks still weren’t the same as actually running 42k at goal pace. No harm in playing conservative and yes, enjoying the process! You can always drop a 32m final 10k if you’re really feeling fresh. 😂 See you in Copenhagen, brother!
