OK I wasn’t sure where to post this so I stuck it in here for time being.
I am looking next year to have a crack at a sub 3 hour marathon, yes a road one, shock horror, I am not getting any younger and despite it all somethings just have to be done.
I am looking at targeting Manchester and or the Edinburgh, Prior to starting my BG training I did a half in 2012 in 1:23, previous to that I ran my one and only Marathon the London in 3:20 hours in 2010. I am keen to keep as much Hills in as I can because I like them, but also understand that I need a degree of pure speed to crack the 3 hour barrier. I think off the back of my BG I have a good endurance base as an starting point.
Any advice most welcome.
