Hmm... I ran a recent winter 5k road race and my time was 19:54.. however, I stopped 3 times, bad taper or something, bad oxygen debt and heavy arms.
Did workouts like 8 x 600m in 2:05 and some 3 x 10 min tempos. But my goal for now is to qualify, help?
Run your first marathon to get a feel for the distance and effort. Especially if you've only done a "long" run of 11 miles less than 3 months out from the marathon.
Unless you have a sub 87 minute half, you'll probably need to wait until the Fall to try and BQ.
I went as far as a 30km training run before, and have an 87 minute half in training as well.
You run way too fast in your regular runs.
All horrible advice so far.
1. Keep it on the 'crete
2. Do all of your long runs at marathon goal pace. This way you know how it feels to run that pace for that distance. None of this run 10-20 seconds slower per mile stuff. That is dumb thinking
3. Ever hear of Jordan Hasay?
How much mileage? any other specifics? no intervals? ever hear of Shalane Flanagan? my hero?
