The VDOT chart can be a fickle master, even though the target paces don't change. Really they don't. No matter how many times I look at them. They are constant, which is basically the opposite of fickle. I think I'm at 61 because I can currently run a 4:53 mile. I don't have, you know, evidence for this, but the idea that I can't do 4:53 is just too awful to contemplate. And I can definitely run 16:48 for 5K. I have evidence for that. Sort of.

1:17:02 half? probably
2:41:08 full? meh who gives a crap about marathons

Like I said, fickle. Daniels does say that it's okay to use your best race and adjust for imperfect conditions. Today's workout goal: 4 x 1200, as close to 4:00 as possible, without going over (equal recovery). Results:

3:57.83
3:59.76
3:59.73
3:59.68

conditions -- cool but humid
