Brunski Jul 2022 11:18am, 17 Jul 2022 2,074 posts	0 Brunski Not where I need to be if I want to target 2:45 AJLB. I'm in decent 5k shape but am well short of endurance tk run a strong marathon. Pretty much writing this week off with the heat and some work travelling, then in Spain for a week and a half. Leaves me 8 1/2 weeks training and a 10 day taper. I might surprise myself and really knuckle down, but at the moment I reckon it's more likely I target 2:50.
damo_HAC Jul 2022 7:11am, 28 Jul 2022 525 posts	0 damo_HAC I started the year aiming for a 2:37 for Berlin, but now I would be happy with a sub 2:45. I'm running the Fleetwood half in 3 weeks time, so that will give me a better indication of where I'm at.

Jock Itch Aug 2022 12:27pm, 15 Aug 2022 13,727 posts	0 Jock Itch Yep. Pretty fast course. I did it about 8 years ago in horrendous winds and remember getting sandblasted along the seafront. Did 1.16 i think, headwind out and tailwind back.
