ndellar Oct 2009 11:35am, 22 Oct 2009 870 posts	0 ndellar Count me in! I want a sub 4 hour marathon, done 1:57 half (well 13.33!!) at Birmingham was actually 1:55, the other week - I think I can do 1:54 ish at least now, we will see on 1st Nov.... Longford Mara (4:11) was 9:35 ish pace and I didn't deviate from it much it was consistent. I also felt I could go on knocking out the miles at the end. My general run pace and speed work seems to have got quicker even in last couple of months so I guess this also means my marathon pace could be quicker - 09:00-09:08 (looking at 4h pace band on my desk) at least. If anyone wants to look at my training and comment on what they think feel free Still gutted I didn't do Abingdon now (grumble grumble) I think it would have happened.

Yorkshire Pie (YP1) Oct 2009 12:17pm, 22 Oct 2009 5,646 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie (YP1) I've done sub 4 (and sub 3:45) but not this year, so my first target for next year is to get back under 4, then take it from there. My first sub 4 was 3:52 off a 1:43 half, when I did my first mara I'd done 1:55 in a half but was nowhere near 4 hours.
