Peter's Team Diabetes Triathlon (and formerly Marathon) Blog

Today's workout was to be 50 minutes at marathon pace of 10:00 minutes/mile. Since the weather here was lousy (we had snow overnight) I decided to do 5 repetitions of a 1 mile circuit on streets that I knew would have minimal traffic. Everything went really well. My splits were: 9:45, 9:55, 9:40, 9:40, 9:30. I felt comfortable throughout but I'm not sure that I will be able to maintain this kind of pace for 26.2 miles. I think a pace target of 10:15 - 10:30 is probably more realistic.
