Ok so before I can do a garmin training plan for a marathon its recommending that I first do a 10k plan.
Avg pace currently 6:41km .
Whats a good pace to aim for in a 10k?
Will probably go with coach Greg

I think 5:00/km should be doable and a good initial goal to go for.
My average pace is 6:20 and my 10K PR was at 4:58 (49:42).

Had my first run with a week's trial of the Runna app today. Of course, I signed up for the trial over the weekend and then woke up on Monday unable to run, with a very angry achilles/ankle. **** knows what I did to it...
Anyway, Runna looks interesting. Much more varied workouts than the Garmin coach from what I can see, but integrates nicely with the Garmin ecosystem too, so I get the workout loaded to my watch and I get all the prompts and things while I'm running, so that's cool.
I started their Parkrun Improvement Program. 4-5 runs a week and they reckon they'll get my parkrun down from 36 to 30-32 minutes in 8 weeks....
But I could have sworn there was a web version of it. Apparently I was imagining things. So here's how it went today. 1.5km warm up, 5x400m @ 6:45, then 1km cooldown
1 degree C according to the car.

Thanks. I think I might need all the luck I can get. It's a scorcher today and the wind is already picking up.

Anyone else use Runna? Is it worth it?

So I pay for Strava already and there's a special combined discounted sub which I'll probably take up.
I am not sure I'd pay for it separately.
I'll report back with how the progress goes though, help you guys decide.

for £55 a year, I reckon so. I've had it for so long I can't remember what difference there is with the free oneHow is the paid version of Strava? Is it worth it ?

Yeah, the heat is a killer. Throw in wind and zone 2 HR becomes nearly impossible to maintain. And in Summer we have wind every afternoon, when it's my running time. Only the severity varies from day to day.

I mean it looks nice to have. I like the segments leader board thing but I cant really justify just paying for that xDfor £55 a year, I reckon so. I've had it for so long I can't remember what difference there is with the free one
