309 for the month will all your travels!!! Shows the dedication a marathoner needs. Good advice from Pat and well worth remembering. The rule I use is multiply your half by 2.1 - very much the same as Pat but 10 minutes for each runner doesn't take into account fast and slow runners - 2.1 adjusts the finishing time for each runner according to their speed. So on that basis if you ran the next half in 114 minutes (you should breeze this) then it would predict a 4 hour marathon finish.
I get butterflies when I read your blog :-)
Looks like everything is going just fine, 310k for the month is pretty impressive. See you at the half champs when you wizz past me :)
309 kms! Well done mate. You are so going to breeze in this Canberra race. What a great month!
Great month Clairie. Things are looking good for the Marathon. Like Eagle said 2.1 is usually about right for the half over marathon time. Mine was 89m:54s pre canberra with expected as 3hr:09 but heat pushed me out to 3:16.
A good month Clairie. Keep it going and you'll fly in Canberra.
I'm predicting you'll do the half in 94, so 3:17 for the full by eagle's calculator.
It's getting cooler (in the mornings) at last! :)
Ewan;
By that calcualtion she will beat me and have downed her first celebration drink and I hope she does it or goes close to that time.
Yo go girl. I am so impressed.
Wish I could be there to cheer you on and have that celebratory drink with you.
May your feet have wings for the big day.
