More context: after the success of the 2021 first annual 200/100 challenge, I’ve got some miles back in my legs and hope to run a 2:59:59 marathon in June.
Last context: my greatest running feats are several 1:25s off of hard bikes in a 70.3 and running 2x2mi all out on 5min rest @ 10:40 both times.

Without question you can. I was able to run sub 6 doing 4x1 mile intervals on my last one at 50. Maybe one all out I could have gotten 5 low.
