2:56:50. I hit all 7 of my 20 milers, made my easy days extremely easy (9:00-9:30 pace), and it was my sixth marathon block under my belt. Went from:
3:57 - 2015
3:25 - 2015
3:22 - 2016
3:13 -2017
3:02 -2018
2:56 -2019
Joined a running club after the 3:22. Eugene was a perfect day. I felt good, the weather was high 40s to low 50s, no wind, nailed all my nutrition and hydration.
Whoo hoo! Nice!
I'm shooting for sub-3 in September, and your journey serves as inspiration/motivation that I can get it done.
