Hello, First of all congratulations on your Chicago race. It's a great Marathon, one in which I've competed twice. Kick up your milage in the three months prior to the event, and do some interval work. Once a week do 8X440 or 4X880 at an uncomfortable pace (maybe initially at a 6:45 pace for the intervals). Run a jog lap between each interval and 4 jog laps to warm up and 4 to cool down. I'm not suggesting that you follow that to the letter, but some variation in your training will help with your problem...also some hill work will strengthen your quads. It will take some time to work up to the quality of interval work, but it will be worth your while! But certainly, don't "lower the bar" and aim for a slower time as a remedy for the problem...what fun is that? Go figure. Love, Bambi
