A Fine Line
I ran through some of the northern neighborhoods. I don't typically go in these subdivisions because getting to them requires running on long stretches of road without sidewalks and typically with cars going at a little faster pace. But at 3am there isn't more than 1 or 2 cars and enough of a shoulder to stay to the side. I can see them (and hopefully they see me) from a long way off because the roads are flat and straight.
For example today...

I'm in a little bit of a quandary about the pacing because, I've been running a little hot for all my paces.
goal marathon pace is 7:24, but in reality, during marathon pace workouts I am consistently hitting 7:14 without straining. During moderate long runs, the goal is 8:05 and I am at 7:50 pretty consistently. Again without feeling out of control, like the workout is going to put me under, and I've been able to recover.
This training is placed against not wanting to bite off more than I can chew and the alignment of the pace calculator based on real races
Half Marathon 1:33;10 - 3:14:14
10k - 42:10 - 3:13:58
5k - 20:15 -3:14:13
So do I lock in to a faster strength work out based on goal pace or current training pace?
I'd like to go more conservative, but also want to make sure I'm operating at my capacity. It's a fine line. I'm staying conscience of the way my body feels throughout the work out and afterward. I know the sadness of overtraining and don't want that to happen again.
