4:15/k pace.

That's the sub-3 hour pace for a marathon, 90min pace for a half and 85min for 20k.

Today, I ran 12k with 4:15/k pace to see if I can run Takashimadaira 20k within 85min. Thanks to Shoji-san and Rie, it was successfully done and I had a feeling that I can sustain the pace for 20k. Feeling pretty good about it.

I know running 42.2k with that pace is another story, but to be honest and bold, I thought it's not impossible if I train properly.

Well, for now, I should concentrate on the 20k race this Sunday.
