I think a lot of us are, most of the Dublin-based people anyway?
The Macmillan running calculator is down at the moment, but it says that a 5 mile time of 40.47 is equivalent to a (barely) sub-4 marathon. Assuming you do all the training, of course.
For a 4.30 marathon, you should be doing under 44 minutes in the 5 mile, I think.
So now you have targets

Me too.....Did 38:13 last year so the plan is to run 7:30/miles which will give me 37:30...That said, have done no work near that pace until today (3 x 7:45)...Will do all my 3 mile runs at that pace or quicker between now and the race and hope that's enough

Oh and change up your routes as the same one all the time and drive ( or run:D) you around the bend !
lol, thanks for the tip on the plastic bag - common sense but I never thought of it
Yeah I'm already sick of the routes I use so will def be changing them up - plus one is really flat so I'm just being too kind to myself there!0 -

So that’s my contingency week gone already – bugger! In fairness I have had a perfect storm of other commitments taking over recently and just could not get the time. BUT I did go for my 7 mile LSR today. It felt good and gave me the opportunity to have a good long think about everything. I am going to do my damnedest to make the time to do this. If that doesn’t work then it’s just not meant to be for me right now and I’ll have to revisit my marathon ambitions another time.
Won’t give up without a fight though
I’m now on week 3. Let’s start again!!0 -

The fact that you got your LSR in and felt good is a very positive thing, it shows that your training to date is pretty solid. Stick with it as best you can, but don't sweat it if you miss a few runs here and there due to life interfering! The plan is a suggested plan, not an absolute.0 -

I did my longest LSR since starting my training programme, it was 10m and I was happy enough delighted with it, I found the last mile really hard but I was amazed at how good I felt afterwards. I think the base training that I have been doing for the past 4 weeks is starting to pay off!
I suppose I just want to encourage everyone and to remind us all that all our hard work is going to be worth it;)0 -
