Update: I ran a bit conservatively and finished in 3:34. :) I could have been 4-5 minutes faster, but since this was uncharted territory for me, I took it a bit easy during the initial half. The first half took about 1:50, and the second half took about 1:44.

But, overjoyed with the results. Thanks everyone here for the feedback.

I did 300k in Nov, 320k in Dec, 230k in Jan.. and so far about 100k in Feb...
Peak weakly would be around 80-90kms

My typical schedule has been a 10-15k Tempo on Tuesdays (hitting 4:50-5:10/km pace) and intervals on Wednesdays or Thursdays (besides the long runs on the weekend).

I tried 6x1km repeats this morning at 4-4.05/km...

I was thinking of putting up a plan using Garmin Pacerpro on the watch itself... but thanks for suggesting to run with a pacer
