I ran a high 1:26 half on a fairly challenging rolling hills course a little less then 2 months ago..
So now i'm thinking of doing a marathon in late Sep. I need a 3:10. Been averaging about 50mpw. Trying to get some longer stuff in, i'm right around 16, 17 miles right now anywheres from 7:50-8:20 easy pace.
So can i legitimately pull off a 3:10? Thanks for the help.
Didn't you start this thread recently and get a bunch of replies? Spend more time training, less time wondering what people think about you? It sounds like the thing holding you back is your belief in yourself.

I started a similar thread about a 3:15 marathon that got a number of replies, but this guy is in significantly better shape than me at this point. With a 1:26 half I'd be planning on giving a 3:15 a rip, not asking if it would be possible 5 months from now.
That being said, nothing is a guarantee with the marathon, which I understand. I'd say this guy could pull it off if he can stay consistent. Run another half in August and see what that "indicates."
Yea I ran 7:15 pace today for 7 miles seemed tough but I think the high humidity is jus plain kickin my a**..
I think if I can get some cool temps I have a legit shot, otherwise i'm screwed.
