I have to admit that the trainer estimate is pretty old and doesn't take recent improvement into account. I just hate the idea of increasing it.
Ha - increasing it just makes more work for yourself. Give it a whirl, though - you might be pleasantly surprised. As mentioned, my recent efforts have felt about right, maybe even a touch low, but I don't think that I could have completed them last year or the year before.
