Hi,
This past weekend,I ran a 32:33 8K in my training for the Wine Glass Maraton. I have about 11 weeks left until the marathon and I was wondering what a potential time that I could run. Currently I am running around 40 miles a week. I have done two 16 milers so far in my training plan. I am starting to incorporate speed work into my training. I was just wondering what a potential time is that I could run.
3:35:00, assuming it's your first marathon.
You didn't give age, weight, or sex, so I'm guessing early thirties male, probably 180 lbs. You didn't give any other indicators of fitness, so the 8k isn't much to go on.
You need more miles. With only 8-9 more weeks of training (not taper) you're not going to get to 70 mpw.
I'm in the same boat, need more mileage but not enough time to get there. I've got 15 weeks until marathon time, and 12-13 weeks isn't enough time to boost the mileage enough.
I am 28 year old male, I have run 5 marathon before, but never really got to race one yet. My fastest is 3:26 in 85 degrees back in 2009. I did go out pretty fast in the 8K though as my first mile was around 6:06. I was looking to hit around 50-55 miles or maybe more before the race.I planning for a half-marathon in two weeks as well and one two weeks before the marathon
6:06 first mile wtf. That's got to be 5k pace for you.
try the hansons plan. you need more work at MP.
3:18-3:20 considering experience at the distance and poor pacing at your last indicator race.
If you run a 6:0x mile at the first of the marathon I'd say 4:10:00!
I realize I went out way to fast. I haven't raced in a while, and I wanted just to see were I was at with pushing it. It was poor pacing. I was hoping to get around 3:15 for the marathon. I would like to qualify for Boston, but I realize that might not be possible this race, and aim for a spring race with getting more speed and miles. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a plan of attack for the renaming weeks

I'd start with next week. Let's call it something masculine, like Chuck or Vito. Then the following week, switch to something softer, like Marissa or Julie. Then call the final five weeks Galen.
