Magical marathon pacing that Rossco Peeko Cheers for pointing out my mistake Windsor Wool Must've hit B instead of C at which point it chose the only option - I never even saw the options. |

Well done Rossco - brilliant sub 3, and yeah, the splits look really good, but I bet there's a tale of hard working at the end there. I look forward to reading a full blow by blow blog please! Club mate of mine, over 5, went 2:49 to PB again at Chicago yesterday. Amazing V50s in our club!  G

Massive PB Rossco, and fantastic split. It's amazing how many really good v50 and older athletes there are now G. In 2013 there were only ~80 sub 3:00 v50s, this year there's over 120, and that doesn't include the London and Chicago results yet. |

Feeling somewhat undertrained, and rather clueless as to what pace I've actually got in me! I've skipped/shortened quite a lot of training sessions (heavy workload scuppered many a planned lunchtime run, and the new pup made early morning runs much harder to fit in). I am however niggle free for the first time in ages, and I did manage a couple of sub-20 parkruns. I'm genuinely not sure I'll be reclaiming 3:15 this weekend, and would predict anything in the ridiculously wide band of 3:15 to 3:45! If 3:15 pace feels right from the start, I'll give it a go. If the pace doesn't feel right, I'm more likely to wimp-out/ease-up than embrace the discomfort! |

I've had a quick look through your training Fergus and would concur with your wide band. It looks like your A,B,C targets are 3:15, 3:30 and 3:45. You've certainly cot the speed but that lower training volume might make sticking to 7:20 for 26 miles quite difficult. Like you say give it 3-5 miles at target A pace and if it becomes uncomfortable wind down to a slower pace. You've obviously got enough experience to realise that but it's always a good idea to remind yourself how things can go wrong in a marathon if you overdo it early on. Good luck on Sunday.
