Sounds very sensible to me Katie and could well explain why i crashed and burned at around 2hrs50/3hrs previously.
I need more time on my feet. See, this thread is already helping.

the time on your feet thing is so true! the most usefull time in a 3 hours run are the last 30 mins ... it is where you really starts teaching your body how to react at its limits.

The long run has it's place but remember that you need SPEED

Not quite what I was thinking Mim. I could do some Dyson intervals I suppose.

problem with dyson's is that they are pretty efficient, hence cutting down the time on your feet ... you probaly need the worst hoover you can get!
I think gobi has just invented the hoover racing!

Count me in for a sub 3:15 marathon in 2007. Don't know where it will be yet. I'm still hoping I'm successful at odds of about 10:1 to get a club place for FLM. If not, I doubt I'll be doing a spring marathon and will probably aim for Abingdon again.
I did a 1:26:46 half marathon today 
Shame it was rowing and not running.

Count me in here too please
My previous marathons have been 4:25 (don't ask!) and 3:16. And ran with Velociraptor at Abingdon for 3:54.
Am aiming for around the 3 hours mark at FLM this time.

I'm looking to do my 1st marathon next year - ideally Snowdonia (my local one - I love the hills!), but looks like we're going away for 2 weeks from the end of Oct'07, so it looks like the Anglesey marathon in September. According to my training log I have a FE prediction of sub 3hr, but with it being my 1st marathon and given Anglesey isn't flat I think a 3h15m target is probably more sensible. Have got a Hal Higon book and will probably use on of his programmes - though not always easy to plan my running given family and work commitments - and the desire to stay married!!

Have heard the name of Hal come up a few times and I am thinking of using a modified Advanced II schedule (varying the speed work and deleting the Wed easy run, so 5 a week).
My question is: Is the back-to-back weekend double essential/intrinsic to Hal's plans? I think the that would be too tough for me and possibly an injury maker. I'm fine doing all the runs, I just feel splitting those two up might be better for me. Also, from a keeping-the-wife-happy point of view!
