For those that have run a BQ for age 35 and above (3:10), what were some of the key workouts that, in hindsight, told you that you were ready to average 7:15 pace for 26.2 miles?
I already have 1x26.2 miles at 7:15 pace written down...

Bumping this old thread (sorry!) because this is a solid post here, and I'm shooting for the 3:05-3:15-ish range. I did 20 steady-state in 7:20 pace with a bit left over on 9/25 but am going to go out conservative (7:30-7:40) the first few miles, and see what happens after 13.1 on 10/17.
