photo Ask the Coach: Half Ironman Run Pacing
I just ran the Boston Marathon under nine minute miles, can I run eight minute miles for my half Ironman training runs? Or should I go slower?

Member Question from hockeyhands
"I'm new to triathlons and just started training for a half Ironman in September so I am using one of your 5 month training programs which is going great. I just ran the Boston Marathon for the first time in April, which I trained about 3 months for and finished in 3:54:36, just under my under 4 hour goal (under 9 minute miles). I definitely chose the right pace for this event as it took almost everything I had. However, I am capable of running at a faster pace.

 

Since I have started my training for this triathlon, I have been running just under eight minute miles, which is definitely pushing myself, but I can handle it. [.....]
