Morning workout: 20 min warm-up followed by 8.2 miles in 48:55 (5:58 per mile), all on the track. Very cool but no breeze. The goal here was to improve LTVO2 as outlined in the Pfitzinger article. LT velocity is approximately half-marathon race pace which I think is right around 6:00 per mile at this point.
The 6:00 came from using McMillan's "Equivalent Performance" tool, which calculates a 17:00 5K as equivalent to a 1:18:35 half-marathon. On an encouraging note, the marathon equivalent for the same 5K is 2:45:44, but I certainly have no intention of starting NYC at a 6:20 pace. Which is now only 18 days away.

Your training pace is crazy, I can't even fathom doing 8 miles at sub-6 pace. Sounds like you're on track for a good marathon though.
