Hey Kazzy,
Welcome to the forum. Nice to have someone from the U.K. posting. Too bad accents don't make it into posts, yours would probably sound so much nicer than mine, with my Rhode Island accent. 19º I see, that must be ºc
Your MAF test seems fine. My only suggestion would be to average 139-140 for each mile. Keep a small zone of 138-141, making sure it doesn't hang too long on 138 or 141. That might be difficult if you are using a hilly course.
The most important thing is to keep the tests as similar as possible, same course and conditions ( I prefer TM's for my tests ).Keep track of temperature, humidity, wind, sun or overcast or rainy for each test.
I wish you the best in the next 12 weeks. Hope you make some progress.
