Hopefully those temps stay low until you are finished. Either way, you have the done plenty of hard work to feel confident in a sub-3 time. I PR'd six straight marathons on much less than you do :)<br /><br />I am curious to read your summer plans once you have them down.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />AJAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256410616083520026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-52974578981905317062013-01-16T11:56:53.620-07:002013-01-16T11:56:53.620-07:00Anonymous and William: Thanks for your support!
...Anonymous and William: Thanks for your support! <br /><br />Anoymous: We'll see how it all goes. When I broke 3 the first time it was on 100 miles a week but my training was geared more toward an upcoming 100.<br /><br />William: I like the idea of tapering the diet the day before a race. I'm glad to hear it's worked well for you.Wyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-56245670710291873962013-01-16T11:38:31.145-07:002013-01-16T11:38:31.145-07:00Nice plan!

It worked really well for me and it will for you. Good luck this weekend!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246097814012645596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-89429962359475589152013-01-16T11:03:50.385-07:002013-01-16T11:03:50.385-07:00I am a lurker.

I ran a high 2:57 a few years ago and my buildup and speed workouts were slower/weaker than yours by a fair amount (and we are about the same age). Just stay relaxed and enjoy the day. You don't need to squeeze out 100% of your current potential to hit your goal time here -- just take it easy and have fun. And if for some reason you don't make it, you can surely hit it in a spring marathon. If you are feeling good, I say go for it. I think you have got enough base and speed right now to go under 2:50 if your body is having a good day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
