I ran around a dozen marathons off similar milage and 5k/10k/Half times and averaged around 2:53
2:50 is reasonable pacing -I guess you’d end up between 2:48 to 2:57

You go Rob! F Sopa de. Damn elitists have heads so far up backsides, they don’t realize without guys like us, absolutely nobody would care about 2:10 marathoners who were not Olympians and that their sacrificing of their adult lives to run 2:10 was a total waste!

Damn right! Thanks for the support :)
It's going to come down to the race day temperature. If it's going to get over 15 celsius before you're halfway through, I'm not sure about your chances even if you nailed everything else.
2:52 if anyone’s interested!
Just stuck to my Stryd plan really. Actually had more to give but my calves wouldn’t let me push over the last 4-5 miles. Shame because I didn’t 100% empty the tank, but nice to not to cross the line a jibbering wreck :)
Overall, very pleased. Thank you again for the advice 🙂
Congrats Rob! Great effort 🙂

Nice job! That’s a great time and pretty much right in line with what you expected. What were your splits like?
6:27-6:35, throughout. 1:25:56 & 1:26:52 on the HMs.
I was surprised not to bonk actually. As I say, I had more to give, but my calves simply wouldn’t permit it 😂
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
