From here on out, the Tuesday now switches to a more marathon specific workout (MP - 10 sec) for longer distance intervals totaling 6 miles (1 mile up to 3 mile intervals).
@DopeyBadger: as you know, I am using the Hansons Advanced Half Marathon plan for the upcoming Dark Side Challenge, and the strength workouts are the one area where I cannot figure out the justification for the Hansons half marathon plan pacing. Both the strength and tempo pacing is based on your half marathon goal pace, so tempo runs at half marathon goal pace and strength intervals at HMP-10 secs. For the marathon plan, they use marathon goal pace and MP-10 secs for these workouts, respectively. At my level, the goal pacing difference between a marathon and a half marathon is about a 22 second per mile. Therefore, if I was training for a marathon, I would be running about 22 seconds per mile slower for both my strength and tempo runs.
For the tempo runs, this doesn't bother me too much because with the advanced marathon plan, I think tempo runs max out at 10 miles whereas the advanced half marathon plan only goes up to 7 miles. So, although I am running tempo runs faster than I would if I was on the marathon plan, I am not running as far. So, fine... I understand. Plus, it is always wise to get comfortable at your goal pace.
But for the strength intervals, the workouts are identical for the marathon and half marathon plans (6 miles total of intervals), so I don't understand why you should run these faster when using the half marathon plan. It seems that the physiological benefits should come at the same speed for the same workout regardless of which distance you are training for. Does that make sense?
Maybe another way to think about it: when I look at your weekly workouts, my training pacing is roughly 30 seconds per mile slower than yours on just about every workout (easy, long, speed), but when I look at your tempo pace, and therefore same for your strength pace, my pacing is only 8 seconds per mile slower than yours.
I must admit that, although I have been able to complete all the workouts at the proper pacing so far, the strength intervals (and to a lesser extent the tempo runs) seem pretty difficult at times. Again, I am able to complete them, so maybe the effort is fine. I know your general rule is that you should always feel like you could do one more interval, and I'm sure I probably could, but I really wouldn't be looking forward to it.
