Hi All - I’ve never posted on LR, but would love to get some general advice. I recently completed my first marathon in 2:41:xx off minimal training. 50 miles/week was my max mileage and 18 miles was my longest run. I understand this isn’t a crazy fast time/achievement; however, I enjoyed the marathon experience and would like to compete in another. My goal would be to get under the 2:40 mark in a future race. I think bumping up the mileage would get me closer. Does anyone have recommendations on a fast course to run next year? Do any of the major city marathons have fast courses (NYC, Chicago, LA)? Thank you!
