I agree with Ewen that a sub 2:50 marathon is a distinct possibility -- so now it is your marathon PB that is he soft one! You have to keep working your way through the set. I don't mind being a plodder behind people who run sub 80 minute halves or sub 2:50 marathons.<br /><br />Incidentally, how the hell are you finding the time to fit in that many miles? Are you running to and from work? Do you have a shower at work? I know if I did, my running would be going better. Not making excuses, just the reality of a busy life. With the cooler weather I did run to work the Friday before last, but it isn't something I want to do on a regular basis because somebody will soon work out where the smell is coming from.Stephen Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985763302279648129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-64255841819176671342009-11-16T08:04:37.912+09:002009-11-16T08:04:37.912+09:00Scott, I am very impressed.

You also have a bit of an elite-style thinness about you these days. Better tuck into a huge meal of roast chicken tonight ;)<br /><br />Seriously though, that's a great PB in the midst of a 120k week. On a cool day, with a week of taper, 1:17 is what I'm thinking.<br /><br />Anyway, the 1:19 is a McMillanesque 2:47 marathon, which will leave poor old Steve Lacey as the plodder among ex-pats :)Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.com
