seriously though, if you're going to adjust the pace in order to get through 26 of them... then it's not really your mile repeat pace anyway... so what's the difference between this and just running a marathon with regular walk breaks?

exactly... my point. you can't do the marathon at your "mile repeat" pace if you can only do 8 or 10 or 12 repeats at that pace.klewlis wrote:seriously though, if you're going to adjust the pace in order to get through 26 of them... then it's not really your mile repeat pace anyway... so what's the difference between this and just running a marathon with regular walk breaks?
eventually, that lactate (and H+ ions!!) will build up if you're goin' too fast!!

I have done up to 13 X 1 mile repeats at 7:00 min mile in training and I found it to be a very hard workout. Harder than hills and harder than yasso 800's I do not think that it is a good stratagy for a Marathon my best marathons have been even paces for the whole thing. PEC last year I was the 3:30 pace bunny I felt fantastic and could have gone for a lot longer if I had to.
