| Boston Goal |

I ran ~ a 1:13:00 at the NYC Half this weekend. What do you think a reasonable Boston Marathon goal should be? |

2:35 or 2:36 |

for what its worth, i ran 73:34 last fall as a tune up to NYC and was in 2:34-2:36 shape 3 weeks later after the taper. |

A lot will depend on the weather. A lot will depend if you can hold yourself back the first 8-10 miles - a lot more difficult than you think at Boston when everyone around you is going faster than you are used to it is easy to go with everyone. A lot will depend on how your legs handle getting beat up on downhills. With that all said 2:34 - 2:39 |

haha... these answers are 'da' best... they get more and more vague. and as for goal time the 15% rule says 6min pace is your golden goal. |
