I also want a sub 4 - and I should be able to get it, all being well...

I did 17 miles yesterday, felt great and managed to keep the pace at a steady 9.15mm which is about 30 seconds per mile slower than my planned mara pace. My achilles feels a bit twangy today which I'm putting down to the horrible hills. I'm seeing my physio tomorrow anyway, so I'm sure he'll sort me out.

I'm going to see how my training goes and then decide, I'm only just starting the really long runs so I'll see how they go.

I did 4:31 at London last year, and that was over nearly 27 miles what with weaving in and out of people and stop starting for the first few miles. I would like to do a sub 4:15, but I'll just be chuffed to beat least years time really :-)

Mrs, W that may be a bit fast for you when you get up to 20's every week. Take care of your body.

Pootle - You are of course correct, I am getting over excited about running all these long distances....

I am aiming to get to the start line with no injuries and at least 80% of the training schedule completed. As long as I get a finish time and it begins with a 4 I will be delighted :)

Thanks Ted - is it really too quick? I usually run my 10 milers at about 8.15 and shorter distances sub 8mm. 9.15 feels slow and I have to make a concerted effort not to go quicker! Happy to bow to your greater expertise here though! :-)

I am training for 7.45 (3hrs 23mins) marathon pace which would pretty much obliterate my current PB just not sure whether Brighton is the place for it. I want to do all three over the three weekends in under 4 with one as the proper PB attempt. Which should it be though? Always planned for it to be Brighton until I saw the elevation profile. What do you people think?

Marathon 1 - Track marathon
Marathon 2 - Brighton
Marathon 3 - London (actually a no go as have promised and am happy to run with someone who is only aiming for sub 4.)
