Forums >Racing>2010 Goal of Sub 3:00 marathon
Jim, interested in running the Kaiser SF 1/2 in Feb?
Thanks DB. The thread...she is in good hands. Boy, you didn't mess around. December is barely half over and away you go! I haven't given up completely but am a major long shot to ever see another sub 3. IF I can get HM down to 1:25's by next fall I might give it another shot. That would be gravy, though. I still find running to be such a rewarding activity that I can't imagine ever not doing it. Good luck to everyone as we move towards the new year. Jim

It's either that one or Davis Stampede on same day. Mostly likely it will be Kaiser--it's closer and the course is reputed to be faster. However I really like the races up in Davis. The logistics are so much easier and they do a great all around job. The only catch is that you have to drive almost 2 hours to get there. Are you planning to run Kaiser?

Well done DB - my goal in Brighton is <2:50.
Debut road marathon, but have run a couple off road.
Good luck to all for 2010, and a BIG thanks to Jim for all the work and advice he put into the original thread (& thanks to DB for taking over the reins). Jim, I still think you have a good shot at this, a solid winter will I'm sure have you thinking the same thing.
I'm also particularly looking forward to Purdey's marathon debut on the road too - go Purdey!
I'm not yet decided on a marathon next year, but I will try and taking another step off my half time in spring and then look at my options.
Winter well all.
Jim and Alan, yes, I think I am in for Kaiser. I hope to see 1:26 with the net downhill course.
You had put so much into the original thread. It looked like you had asked someone to take it over for 2010 and I though the best way to say "Thank You" was to pick it up and run. I sure hope you are still a regular!
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
PS to all
My spelling is poor, so please feel free to post any corrections that I need to make
This is my third Boston so I sort of know what to expect. Note about my last time Boston - after watching the Women's OT together, I edged Dopple Bock (3:06 to his 3:07) in the last marathon he "jogged." Good luck!

Yes, I am currentlu 0-1 against Roots
He has since broken most of my PRs - Except the marathon, so I expect big things at Boston!
PS - in 2010 I am taking those PRs back.

Hi Thomas
I did wear my HRM for last year's Cal International marathon (2:55). Here's a link if you want to see the data. Ignore the first mile max HR as the contacts were not 'wetted' yet.

Edit: Thanks to Jim and all the other participants for making the previous thread so incredibly valuable. I'm not sure I would have made sub-3 otherwise.
Well count me in DB.
My attempt to break 3 will be @ Boston '10.
I fell 18 seconds short my last try @ Rocket City '08.
