I dunno about that Tony. Andy Ibbott never runs sessions more than 28 minutes long (25 in Spain if you recall) because they've done studies which show that everyone promptly loses concentration and falls off after 28 minutes, which would be entertaining.
So if you (generic 'you', nothing personal Tony) get to 28 minutes and are still in it, might be wise to bear that in mind. |
Well, I did say 'taper off physically' which I don't think you will. Even now I can run for half an hour at about 75% and cover about 6 - 6.5k's.
Mentally is a whole other story. I think people will fade mentally - it will be the people who manage this better than others who keep the pace going through the race.
