keep running.
Do you think I could BQ?
Do you have a preferred running plan that fits into (what you know of) my schedule?
Do you have any suggestions about how many interval/fartlek/tempo runs I should do, and at what pace?
Do you have any advice/words of wisdom/etc that you'd like to share?
Thanks for any and all help. I really appreciate it!
Runners run
I've got a fever...
That stuff is really details that you don't need to worry too much about to run a 3:40 marathon. Keep it simple. If you want, for example, once a week do something like 8 x 2 minutes fast / 2 minutes easy and another day do 3 x 8 minutes at "tempo" with 3 minutes easy. Something like that. Everything else, easy pace.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Mikeymike, what about some Yasso 800s?
Why is it sideways?
I don't see much value those as a workout or as a predictor. I could run 10 x 8 in 2:45 with 2:45 rest right now without much trouble. That woudl be a pretty easy workout. I couldn't run a 2:45 marathon right now to save my life.

I read the article and did some additional research. Doesn't the use of Yasso 800s for marathon prediction also assume you are properly trainined for a marathon. E.g, if you had been doing 20-mile long runs and upped your mileage, you don't think you could run a 2:45 marathon?
