A few weeks post event and very light activity, my Garmin predictor is getting a bit carried away. |

My Coros has me at 3:01:28 following my weekends HM result. After lurking for quite a while, I feel like I'm actually allowed to come and play in this thread now. 11 months of learning, planning and training ahead. Bring it on.

Mine is looking quite realistic, I'm in the middle of an 8-week 10k block for the Percy Pud on 1st December. Training suggests I should dip under 36, but there's a few weeks to bring the prediction into line. The half looks achievable, and full marathon a bit daunting considering my longest run over the last 8 weeks will be a trail half I ran in 1:21. If the 5k was the target race I'd hope to be around 17 give or take 10 secs. |

Mine’s looking embarrassingly realistic, no photo from me  Welcome @Mark J 🇳🇿 you’re definitely knocking at the door after that HM (especially on what sounded like a slightly slow course). |

Lol jda, I'm sure you'll get those predictions back when you start training more again. In other news despite going to Boston (Lincs) in April and ticking off the required GFA in horrible conditions I couldn't bring myself to enter London next April. I think a combination of the usual people I'd train with not running there, and past London's not going quite as well as I'd hoped (along with the cost/logistics) put me off. Also missed the boat for Mancs so if I do another mara next Spring it may well be through the cabbage patches of North Lincolnshire again. At least I have a recent memory of running pretty well there

My race predictor has detached itself from reality completely. This is actually on the conservative side compared to some of its recent musings. |

Cheers @jda. Nelson's a great course for flatness and scenery, it's just that 8k ish stretch of gravel (firm-ish underfoot but lose gravel none the less) that changes the running dynamics for a stretch. I guess I've not been at this level before, where you are suddenly aware that the smallest of environmental changes can affect your result. When you highlight it, actually if that 8k stretch had all been tarmac, then yes, I'd feel comfortable that's I'd dip under the 1:25. |

Even good gravel is still a sapping surface to run on. And yeah, 1:25 is definitely sub-3 territory.

Welcome MarkJ- you may as well push for the extra minute and go sub 3 😉 You guys are fast, hope you go that quick in your 10k prediction Brunski. Shame about London GFA, I wouldn't miss it for the world. My predictions on garmin are always way too slow. I don't bother looking. |
