All,
I've been training for my first marathon on October 15th. I've been back to running for a little over a year and have run several 5ks, 10ks and 3 half marathons. My fastest 5k is about 8:39 min/mile, and my fastest half (this past June) is about 9:45 min/mile. Since June, I've been completing weekly long runs from 14 - 18 miles (and plan to run one 19 mile run and one 20 mile run in the coming weeks) with a pace anywhere from 30 - 90 seconds slower than my half marathon pace (especially slow in the heat). However, I have not been getting enough weekly mileage in - only about 2x a week on average with 4 - 5 miles per run. If I complete the 19 and 20 mile runs and remain on fairly low weekly mileage, will I be prepared for the marathon, or should I hold off? My goal is just to finish (hopefully around 4:30?)
