Forums > Racing > 2010 Goal of Sub 4:00 Marathon
Great job, well done!
60 miles, including a 1:37:28 half marathon. Way off my goal of sub-1:35. But it's a PR and seems to be a rough equivalent of sub-3:30 (my goal).
No medium long runs (again).
Prefer to just stay positive and keep working away.
NaderAlfie, with that mileage you're complaining about no medium long runs? My rule is HM time x 2 + 20 minutes. For someone proportionally faster such as yourself, that would be something like HM x 2 + 17 minutes. Striking range.
Alternative rule: "Whatever McMillan says" + 10 minutes (for me, that is)
OK, I read through the whole list and we have Kanata37, MichiganRon and nickel going sub-4 with authority. I think I'll put them on an honor roll in the first post. Great running!
Are there any more?
Hey Econo, I'm not counting any unhatched eggs this year. Last year I thought I had sub-4 all but bagged.
Anyways, what do you think of making a fancy list in your opening post, like sub-3 people have. Lists are important. They are proof that something happened. Lists.
Underway

Nice work, Nader. You are so going sub 4 this fall.

2011 goals: Sub 20 5k, PRs at the 10k, half marathon and (god willing) a sub 3:40 marathon

Looks like you're back up near the 50s again. Nice.

thats the nature of the marathon, she is a fickle mistress. that said: my money is on you going under 4 this fall, well under 4, to be clear.

I had a rough patch there, life just got in the way. But I'm back and ready to take this all the way. I just hope those low weeks don't ruin my chances.
From what I gather, a few weeks won't make or break anything. Keep hacking away.
Thanks, A1.
What does Tunis make?
Great list at the front!
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
The list is up -- page 1.
Next up is Rozzie -- GO!
It was fun re-reading all the posts. Am lacking (or inadvertently missed?) data for a few people. Help me fill in the blanks. October 3rd will be a busy day for us...
Amores Perros, there was a van at Hood to Coast with your name painted on the side (like how they paint the team members' names, you know?), so I stuck my head in the window and said "Who is Amores Perros?" They all gave me confused looks. Then I had to explain that "I know someone from a running forum online whose name is...oh never mind...hello, I'm a dork..."
Giddyup.
Lost dogs!
And a movie!
Ultima tastes like failure.
Thanks, Econo. I'm doing Baystate.
