Miser Nov 2023 6:21am, 20 Nov 2023 227 posts	0 Miser Seems grand for 5 weeks in. Also highlights just how tough the P&D plans are! Are you doing the longer one?
mattykay Nov 2023 8:05am, 20 Nov 2023 25 posts	0 mattykay Yeah it's the 55-70 18 week plan. There are two with more mileage!
jda Nov 2023 8:15am, 20 Nov 2023 15,928 posts	0 jda Feels wrong for you to be so far into the plan and not in the sidebar - your profile says Seville in Feb, will you be going for sub-3 or something else?
mattykay Nov 2023 8:52am, 20 Nov 2023 26 posts	0 mattykay Yeah Seville. I'd love to go sub 3 but also need to get my head around being happy with a pb. 8 minutes is a lot to find. You can put me down for 2:59:59!
jda Nov 2023 9:20am, 20 Nov 2023 15,929 posts	0 jda 8 mins is a big step but you're obviously on an improving trend and your half suggests you should get close. Well I'd say your half suggests you're a shoe-in but I know the marathon is a complicated beast
mattykay Nov 2023 9:33am, 20 Nov 2023 27 posts	0 mattykay I'm just gonna trust in the P&D and draft behind the pacer on race day!
jomo_richmond Nov 2023 11:07am, 21 Nov 2023 201 posts	0 jomo_richmond After some indecision, I am going to run Valencia, albeit slower than Damo, so please add me to the sidebar with a 2:47:00. If things go smoothly, I might try for a 2:45 but don't think I am in shape for that.
damo_HAC Nov 2023 10:11pm, 21 Nov 2023 635 posts	0 damo_HAC Hi Jomo, I'll see you there. I think I'll be closer to 2:45, than to 2:40.
