When training for a marathon, I'm not sure what pace to do my pace runs at? My average pace normally is about 8 min mile. During a 5k or 10k, I speed up to 7:30/mile. On my 15 mile run, my oace was around 8:30-8:45/mile. Any idea how to gauge my race pace?

    Have you raced a half marathon yet? 5K isn't a great predictor for marathons for most of us.

    Yes but I was recovering from a torn psoas major muscle so I wasn't running at 100%.
