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.

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?
