Forums >Racing>2010 Goal of Sub 3:00 marathon
I am also running RTB this weekend. First time for me. As of right now I'm running Leg #7, but we might be down to 11 runners as one of our runners currently has a hurt calf and is an unknown right now.
My first time too but most have the team has done a few. What's your team's start time? We're Bunnies bahaving badly starting at 2:20. We're not sure we have 11 or 12 people at the moment either it'll be fun either way. How hard are you planning on running this? I know it can't be a good Idea to race this thing 3 weeks out from my marathon.
We're The Chocolate Mile. We start @ 2:40, so we'll probably be passing each other back and forth.
I will only be two weeks out from my marathon. I will probably race the first leg. Recovery/GA the middle-of-the night leg and run the last leg a little harder. I will probably take Sunday off.... Weather is shaping to be pretty decent. I leave Thursday morning.
I'm pretty sick of entering my race times in predictors and getting sub 3:00 as the expected result. I have no idea if my current fitness gives me a realistic shot at a ten minute PR in Hartford, but I'm going to try like hell.
Good luck dude! I think you have a more than realistic shot at sub-3. Keep on building fitness as you have plenty of speed to do this. I'm definitely pulling for you, us old guys have to stick together.
I am sorry - I have not been very engaged lately - Which race on 10/3 - I want to add you to the list
Everything is on target for my goal of a sub 2:55 on October 3rd. Racing a half marathon on Sunday, with a goal of 1:21:30. Have been hitting all my miles/workouts/paces, including a 10 x 800 Yasso workout last week where I averaged 2:51 and negative splits. Feeling good and excited for the half this Sunday and the goal marathon on 10/3!
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
I think I've finally finished ramping my miles up and feeling slow after running Boston. I was pleasently surprised with a 1 second PR in the Ottawa Hlaf Marathon yesterday. Now I just want to hold 80-90 miles a week for a little while and see what happens. Dopple Bock, throw me back on the list for sub 3 at Mohawk Hudson River Marathon - 10-10-10

I somehow never made it onto the list also.
I am really sorry for that - I have been in a real slump this summer and I have not felt like thinking or talking about running.
Is there anyone else?
Feeling the growl again

spaniel -- 2:32 for now, not willing to go all in on 2:30 yet.
Summer was miserable. I didn't want to talk about or run either.

Race & date?

I have a tough time wrapping my mind around 439 miles in August being called a slump.
What you've accomplished so far this year has been incredible. Good luck at the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon!

Yo DB...I just noticed you have me down for a sub 2:50 at HHFMM? Did I ever publicly state that as a goal?
1 Hip and 2 Hamstring reconstructions later…
Looking for some thoughts on my interval work this week. Wednesday I will be 3.5 weeks out from my race. I was thinking it would be a good time for some Yasso's but I'm not really sure it would be the best thing. Should I go longer (1200 or 1600 repeats) or shorter (200 or 400 repeats). Again, just looking for some experienced feedback.
I just do what our club coach tells us to do. This week is;

You can take me off the list. This year hasn't gone anywhere as planned since Boston in April.
Plan is for an early 2010 attempt but 2009 ain't happening.
