	Note that the ‘approximate’ targets for training sessions are exactly that, especially on longer runs. By now, your training and racing should be giving you a clearer idea of your marathon (steady) and half-marathon (brisk) paces. Also, the times in the Tuesday speed sessions are alternatives to the distances, rather than targets. You should be running them as fast yet evenly as you can; roughly between 5K and 10K pace.

I am not sure I can achieve my target Sub-3 finishing time, but at least I will aim towards it and train according to this target schedule.  The pace will be slightly higher for me in the beginning but I will work towards average long run with 4:41 min/km timing.
