Forums >Racing>Commit to a sub-4 marathon in 2011 -- then run it
Hi! Already posted on the other page but did 3:57:24 at Vancouver.
Congratz !!! I am going to take all this inspiration with me when i line up at Gold Coast in a couple of months time !!
I dont sweat. I ooze liquid awesome.
Missed 4 hours by 26+ minutes, I really shouldn't have even had it in my head. I think I may have had a 4:15 in me if I didn't go out thinking I had a chance at going sub 4. Either way it was a great experience and something I will use when I try for number 2.
Unfortunately work and vacation looks like it will keep me from trying again in 2011, but I already registered for NJ in 2012 and I have automatic entry to NYC next year also. Need to get a lot more miles on my legs.
Good job by everyone else who has reached their goal!

Tough luck Phil. Saw your log and couldnt help notice that we have a few things in common (height, typical training speeds etc). There were 2 things that stood out .. your april was kinda erratic from a training standpoint so i am sure that didnt help too much. And as you run, you will shed a few pounds and that will only make you faster. So if you could run a 4:26 now, the going can only get better. A lot better. With disciplined training.
Consistently Slow

Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Guys I am so sorry.
Flooding Data Centers are no fun.
I will update thread tonight or tomorrow morning.
CyclingAHEAD until 2012

I'd like to put myself down as well. Tried this 2 years ago, ran 4:10. Last year my training sucked (fell apart middle of the summer, basically ran sporadically until Oct, then stopped running until March 1. Been committed since that point, and I'm going to break 4:00 this year come hell or high water. Now I just need to get motivated for todays 10 miler...
Goals: Run 1400 miles
Marathon: sub 3:45
Half marathon: sub 1:40
10K: sub 42:00
5k: sub 20:00

Hi
I just changed a setting. Trying to backload all my times from Garmin but the laptop is acting up
Like me, Mister O, you need to start running!
Both of us have empty logs.....

Run lots. Mostly easy. Sometimes fast.
Good lord, it's been 3 pages / 1 month since I last updated the thread. I am so sorry, I didn't know it had been this long. Please don't fire me.
What is your goal race?
I will never let that happen again, the thread is fully updated now except TriangleIL.
Work has been crazy, but I am finally having downtime now. I haven't even had time to really log my runs (maybe for the better, because they have been shitty).

It is not a paying gig.
