18 mile long run about 2 weeks ago with 8 miles easy and last 10 miles at 6.35 pace.
Mileage is about 45-50 per week. Longest runs are 5 x 18 miles often progression runs with last 10k at 6.35 pace.
Half marathon pr is 1.18, but did a slow half marathon 1.23 recently ( felt tired on day from marathon training).
whats a thon?
get a life fool
You can't call it a thon until you break 2:20
Did you not get the answer you were hoping for when you asked this yesterday?
Seems plausible, but way too little info to make a firm determination. Is this your marathon debut? If so, your odds go down. I'd also be more confident if your mileage was 60+ MPW.
Not my debut, did one 4 years ago and got 2.57, looking for a pr obviously. Average about 40 miles per week October/November / December
Shame I'll never be sad enough to run 100 miles + per week to achieve something that 99.99999% couldn't give 2 hoots about. I'll sooner take my sub 3 and keep my life thanks .

Won't run 100 miles per week, but will do a 5x18 mile run workout...
Okay man.
Also, is "thon" short for marathon?
No I'll run 18 miles as a long run x 5 in a marathon training cycle. Geez
With that time for a half-thon I'd said a thon in 2:53
Yes, only if you do daily 5x18 runs

I knew a guy went out boozing every night and ran 69 for half marathon
You are just not good enough like the rest of us but don't give up weak excuses.

I like your chances but you are a little bit on the "light" side. A few more miles (60 mpw assuming you don't get hurt doing so), most of it slow (8-8:30+) will help. I like your 8+10 session.
By comparison I ran 2:56 on a 1:24 half and 5 runs of 16-17-18-19-20, the 20 being 10 E + 10 MP. What I ran for these last 10 (6:44 pace) is exactly what I did on race day.
You have the speed for sure, just need to make sure you have the strength so you avoid cramps/bonking. To do so, miles help. Don't go crazy but run a bit more, just slower.
5 x 18 mi? You're on the right track to break 2.55 in the thon. How much rest between reps?
