Work is a bit slow not so why not have alittle fun. I am running the Boston Marathon this year and I want to see what people think I can/will run.
Background...but not too much...i have qualified to run and i'm in the 18-34 group.
currently running 35-45mi a week on ~5 days.
I'll take all the wise comments you've got and will give more information if needed.
I'm not looking for training plans or anything like that I just want to see people's first reaction and see how far off they are..
My prediction: 5:12-5:31.

Your definition of fun ain't mine. But have fun anyway.
my first thought was that mileage is way too low for a decent marathon. What is your PR?
Since you did not give us any real information, I am going to make the ridiculous assumption that you have the exact same ability level as myself. I ran 3:00 off of 40ish and 2:48 off of 50ish. I am going to split the difference: 2:54.
i figure most people on here would look at the mileage and just make assumptions based off of that
Never been a huge mileage guy but if I had more time I would run more mileage...at one point a number of years ago I was running closer to 80mpw.
Currently capable of running 10mi @5:45ish
Oh well, if you can only run 10 miles in 5:45, then I'll go with 14 hours flat.
So basically, you want to surprise people with how "fast" you are on inadaquate mileage... since your time really isn't that impressive for a marathon?
I'll guess 2:33.

Worst guess of all-time. 5:45 pace is what he can handle for a 10-miler and that would only be 2:30:4X if he held it for 26.2.
