Group training is better than solo training becoz it's more fun and you can push each other when the going gets tough (for xample during long runs or intervals).<br /><br />I do solo training simply due to my circumstance. I don't have a car so it's a bit hard to travel to group training venues such as ECP, MR, track etc. Also, I have a one year old bub, which limits my flexibility. In light of these, I train solo at my own time and normally in my neighbourhood.Sling Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859627939998092404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-57473980779452146082010-04-01T19:01:50.343+08:002010-04-01T19:01:50.343+08:00Great job Sling & u got a PB with just 8 weeks...Great job Sling & u got a PB with just 8 weeks of training! I too feel that it is only a matter of time before you can go sub3 hr.<br /><br />As I can see your vast improvements over the past few years, I really wonder how did u do it with self-training as I always feel that one will benefits more from group training?<br /><br />Hmm wonder what's your opinion on... Self-training vs group-training?Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-7517009258093364832010-03-30T12:05:12.392+08:002010-03-30T12:05:12.392+08:00congratulations.

To tell you the truth, off a limited prep I was expecting more of a fade, with 3:06ish at the finish.<br /><br />I agree with your assessment that getting the half (and 5k/10k) time down will make a difference. Not much point going for 3:01/2, but with a faster (84/5?) half PB 3hr marathon pace will feel much easier.<br /><br />Maybe run by Sean something like the Marius Bakken style of prep where you start with 5k training then switch to half training then marathon training?Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-57901354122487478862010-03-27T07:19:31.693+08:002010-03-27T07:19:31.693+08:00Well done!! Congratulations on the PB!
Sub 3 is oh...Well done!! Congratulations on the PB!<br />Sub 3 is oh so close, if you can sustain the momentum it has to go soon. <br /><br />The rumour I heard is that Monaghetti is pacing the GCM 3 hr pace group and Biscuitman will be amongst it. So I'd get on board that one if I were you. No reason why you cant do Melbourne as well or instead of Gold coast. IMO its an either/or situation. Do both or do one. From a time to prepare and overall atmosphere point of view, Melbourne might be better, but Gold coast could be a faster course, and with Monaghetti and Biscuitman there, could be just the extra help to see you well under the 3 hours. I'd like to try Gold coast some day, but unlikely I will be able to get there this year. <br /><br />In Melbourne Clown may be there which could assist as well, I plan on being there too, although not sure if I'd be much help as I am currently too slow other than maybe the first 3-4km. But I am trying to get faster and fitter as always. <br /><br />Good race report. Should have got a photo of yourself running right on the back of the group of Kenyans. For sure respect better runners, but if you want to improve you have to challenge the better runners, not be intimidated by them.<br /><br />Thats pretty cool how Seoul is rated right up there with Boston, New York, London Berlin etc. I reckon I'd like to try Berlin one day maybe. sounds very cold!! <br /><br />Sounds like your training and racing has gone up a level, and your marathoning experience is starting to get a lot more mature, plus you are developing the strength to do several marathon PB attempts per year. <br /><br />Big Kev over here did Perth, CitytoSurf, Melbourne and Rottnest all in the space of 4 months last year. He PBed in the first 3, with I think about 3.03 in Perth in July, a 2.57 in City to Surf in August and a 2.56 in Melbourne in October. Think he ran out of steam by Rottnest (only a week or so after Melbourne) with about 3.14 or something from memory. I also did Perth, City to Surf and Melbourne, but I did city to surf with a training run mindset, with the plan all along to attack Melbourne as the main goal race, will try to do the same again this year. (attack melbourne)<br /><br />Congratulations on Sling Juniors first birthday. challenging but very special times ahead...<br /><br />I agree that some improvement on your half time, and 10k time could help make the next sub 3 attempt a bit easier. <br />Fantastic result on a short prep. Well done.<br />All the best in the quest to keep the personal bests coming.trailblazer777https://www.blogger.com/profile/15260445561233341753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-71460922572717978692010-03-26T23:45:00.334+08:002010-03-26T23:45:00.334+08:00This is in my opinion a fantastic performance!

The pace group going too fast early is a tough issue when paces need to be just right to sneak under the 3hr barrier.Epihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477381563587498137noreply@blogger.com
