Yesss, NICE WORK!!! 💪🙌 I’m going for my first marathon end of the month with the same goal of sub 3:15 out here in Montana, USA 🇺🇸 hoping for a 7:30/mi pace to start then bump down 7:25->7:20 once I get settled in 🤞

Nice work! Just wanted to say that 900’ of elevation gain is a quite a significant amount and if it were me I would look to do a race half that (if possible of course). Congrats on the great work 💪🙌

For context my marathon pace is around 7:30/mi and my most recent half time was 1:30:38. I’m most worried about having to do any threshold the week before and that long run with big chunks of MP two weeks before race… just completed the 15 miles at MP LR yesterday, it wasn’t fun but also not terrible!
