sorry, hadn't meant for it to confuse you - if anything, to give you confidence that 3:29 is doable as it appears 'cautious' if anything! I like this one because of the range of suggested predictions - all of which for us are well under 3:30 based on the HM times we've recently done!

I'm very confident of a PB irrespective of weather or not I get to 3.29 But with the training I've managed to get through, by no means as high as many others, I would like to hit target.
It's just the tapering......it's just the tapering........

Sorry to sound negative but.... I've always under performed against calculations at marathon. Could be because I took my first too easy (Edinburgh, 3.52.58), my second was hilly and I was ill (Snowdonia 3.42.23) and I undertrained for Barcelona (3.58.58).
So I guess I should be more positive

3.37 half on a hot day could be quite a few mins faster on a Cool day. Diff people are affected differently by the heat.
C I never do more than 5 miles at or faster than MP. I've done no progressive long runs but when I did do them in the past I did no more than 5 miles at PMP
This time round I have done a few tempo runs at faster than MP, the longest I do is 5 miles though
I havnt got round to doing many intervals so have just managed a few sessions of 10x 1 min hard. 1 min easy,
Yes you are right claire I have had a few hard races....
Last weekend 55 miles
Previous weekend. HM PB
Previous weekend 20 mile PB
Previous weekend 2 x 29 miles
So I was not at all tapered for today's 3.27. I did only do 4 miles yesterday but I ran twice each day in the week, mostly easy pace though.
Therefore as C says I can prob do faster for a marathon ( not 10 mins though) so don't look at my times and think you can't do it cos my half is faster than yours

BV - my legs strted to get tired in the last few miles and I had to work for the last 4 ish to keep the pace. I certainly wasn't my hardest marathon. The hardest ones have been where I have slowed a lot in the second half most likely due to setting off too fast
