Ok got the new Garmin 225 & love it! Had to take it out for a run today. Seems dead on.

Anyways finally got some cooler weather.

I did 17 miles @7flat. I was extremely happy. Thinkin a 3:10 should doable.

Was tired but coulda kept goin.

What pace should I aim for in my Oct marathon? Go right out at 7flat? Stay with 3:05 pacer?

I did run some 6:55, 6:53, 6:57s. High 38 10Ker+mid 18min 5Ker. Did my one and only half last yr a high 1:26. I think I could beat that now. Doin the pfitz 18/70 plan. Have followed it pretty closely. Have missed an occasional run from well..

Life lol work family house. U get the pic. Prolly averaging 56 mpw. Thanks for any help.

Pretty similar stats from myself. I ran 3:04 earlier this year.

Do you like the built in HRM? I'm waiting for the Garmin 230 myself. When's that coming out? I prefer the HRM off the watch

Marathon prediction is 3:08 based on the 10km time.

re: Marathonerintrainin

It depends on which run you missed on that schedule. If you are skipping the midweek long run you can add 10 min on your time on average.

Is it your first marathon? I would say 3:05 would be a reasonable goal. Under 3 would be a pie in the sky goal (but probably not enough mileage for this time unless you have great endurance) 3:10 is a good bet. So start at 3:05 pace if you feel good or 3:10 if you want to be conservative.

I've only missed1 of the mid week longruns. Would love a 3:05 our sub 3:05 for a sure ticket to Boston.

re: Marathonerintrainin

your 5k/10k and half line up - I would stick with the marathon program & shoot for sub 3:05. Your best times suggest a sub 3:05 is very realistic all things considered.
