Curious if your Runna training block paid off in Chicago. Actually I just checked, just about the same time as in Paris I see. Anyway well done! Ik was wondering if doing a 5k in 25 minutes the day before is a little to much effort? Ik did a parkrun before my marathon last week, as a shake out run, I did that parkrun in 29 minutes, keeping it really easy, more easy than my marathon pace of 5:15 per km. I use Runna to get a new 5k pb in 8 weeks, will try it to get a new marothon pb next spring. Interesting to see your journey, thanks for vlogging!
Yeah 25min 5k was possibly a bit rich but I honestly don’t think it had any real impact on the marathon time. I just think that’s where I am at currently. Might try a different training plan for my next marathon with a different style of training, but I do enjoy Runna and the variety of runs it has me do each week. It’s just questionable based on feedback if that is the ‘right’ thing to be doing training for a marathon.
