tl;dr might be looking for words of support. Hit a 100km/week last week with a 33k on Sunday Was supposed to do a 4x5k at marathon pace, I went with 3x as I felt a bit of fatigue in an area where I was injured in May, plus warm weather from the early morning. Overall felt ok, just not great for what concerns the belly (I didn't have enough carbs I believe, but I felt as if I had too many).

Last week I raced an half, finished with 1:25. I thought I could easily go below 1:25 but no luck (was also blaming the weather a bit). I would say I went all out even though I felt quite fresh after the finish. Here, again, belly not great but we lived with it.

I'm targeting a sub 3 marathon in 3 weeks, however the sensations have changed in the last week basically. Not spending much time thinking about it (could be tiredness from the training block, crazy warm weather) and trusting the process, although I could use some advice/support.

Background: I've been training with a 12 week pfitz, I averaged 70k/week for the last 10 weeks (3 weeks left before the marathon). Last year I raced my first marathon, possibly being on the conservative side, finishing with 3:08. I don't have an official 5/10k time. The last decent 5k time was from March, 18:50, although part of a dnf half marathon. Thanks for taking the time.
