2010 Goal of Sub 3:00 marathon (Read 8721 times)

    Training is just starting to ramp up, the AT Tendon injury is gone and now I'm just dealing with some lower shin pain on the opposite side of the same leg. Not enough to stop training at least, but definitely had a few bad patches. I won't go into the long story, but trying to rule out either a nerve issue from the lower back or muscle imbalance. I'm 18 weeks out from Houston right now and have a lot of work to do if I'm going to get back to 2:55 shape...

     

     

    Good luck on Sunday, even though your training my not have been ideal, you have the raw speed that puts you way under a sub 3:00!

                        Ran a 15k today.  Ho-hum....54:46.  I might be in shape to break 3 hours.

                            Heh. He is apprehensive, eh?

                             

                            Nice race, Thunder. Take this confidence-builder and land the plane.

                              Things went great today. 2:50:24 at the Wineglass Marathon. 6:29 pace, 1:25:21 first half, slightly negative split second half. No complaints. I am thrilled.
