Training paces

I'm a long time fan of Greg McMillan's running calculator - it fits my race results very closely. Here's a slightly edited, blog friendly, version of the results, assuming that 8:20 is my marathon pace. It isn't based on any actual race result, however it is quite close to my 5 mile PB, set on a hot hilly course, so it does seem realistic.
