RE: Marathon Post #5 #runforsteem
I never had the urge to do a marathon, but now that I'm into running and enjoying it so much it's something I'd like to do and achieve before I'm 40.
I think it will help a lot that I'll have a colleague with me all the way, not just every training (except weekends), but also there in Valencia. I have the feeling that once we're in the rhythm we'll forget he distance, did I mention he loves to talk?! It helps a lot as it distracts from the runs we do, if we both manage to stay in our routine and stick to our pace, I think we should be able to do it. We currently run 5,5min/km so that's something we could still improve, but it's not a priority for us.
That pace will allow you to go below 4 h man ;-), not bad target for starting on marathon.
Actually I see you can do 3h45', easily
That's the thing, I'm happy with my pace. If I can maintain that for 42 km, I'll be really happy, that's also why the focus on stamina.
