    Tough time deciding which option to choose.

    Recent HM in October of 2:01:10, which was a PB. I guess that projects to a 4:10 Marathon? Past 10 years I have only done HM, 10k and 5k. Only one marathon, under trained, as a beginner runner 12 years ago.

    The past year we have been very consistent. Over 45 if that helps with the decision.

    Also, I am currently doing your maintenance program based on HR. I was thinking of switching to pace based for the marathon plan and then on long runs switch to HR?

    Thanks for any feedback

    Hi Tommy,
    If you are having a tough time deciding between levels my usual response is to start on the lower level, give it 4-6 weeks and level up if feeling strong, nailing or your sessions, and have time for more training. Train where you are, not where you want or think you should be.

    Cheers
    Leyla
