I ran a 10-miler in 54:50 on Saturday. A good hearty 8/10 effort, I can't imagine going more than 20-30 seconds faster on a better day. A good indication of fitness.
I have a marathon in 2 weeks. But! I focused all my training on the 10 miler. Haven't done a long run over 15 miles. What do you think I should aim for? 2:50?
2:50 sounds good.
I suspect this is a troll...
If you have not done a LR over 15mi, you will probably DNF.
With a couple of longer runs I'd say you should be closer to 2:30 than 2:50. Since you didn't, I'd try to go for something between 2:38 / 2:42.
Heck, if you don't have any fear - or care - about possibly dropping out I'd just run 6-minute miles until you dropped.

Have you not been introduced to the Hanson's methods? They advocate nothing over 16.

This is more my plan. In college I did some 20 milers but that was about 2 years ago now and I've been basically running 5 miles per day, every day, with a few exceptions.
