Hi!
I just registered to a yolo-marathon (didn't train specifically for it) for end of May and I'm aiming to go sub 3:30.
Firstly, can I do it? I've only done one stand-alone marathon last summer and went 3:57 but with nearly no training.
My 10k is 40mins
My 20k is 1h25mins
I've been running 30k a week (a 10k + a 20k) for the last few months. I have not done any runs over 20k lately.
2nd questions, what should my strat for pacing be? I'm just doing this as part of my training for fun but I also want to see what I can push, so would it be best to pace evenly throughout or should I run on hard early and try to hold on? Or go easy for half and kick the second half if I had gas?
Any pacing advice?
