In order to choose an appropriate training program for Nottingham I have decided to test myself at the 10k and half marathon distances over the next week or two. The training programs specify standard times for these two distances, if you can achieve them, the training program should deliver the goal marathon time.
Today I took on a 10k run, aiming for sub 45 min. My actual time was 44:42 (7:09/mile) which I was pleased with. I suspect I could trim a little off that but not much. This time is in line with the Runner's World 03:30:00 marathon program, if I can follow it up with an appropriate half marathon next week, I might realistically be able to aim for three and a half hours in September!
