Marathon Time

No.

Are you seriously asking this or is this some kind of jape?

I'm going to go with 'joke we aren't in on', because the advice in the first response was too terrible to be real.

Oh good. These "inside jokes in F&E" are my favorites.



I like to watch these threads develop and imagine how awesome it must be to be on the other side in the cool kids club.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

If only I had some really bad advice to give so others might think I was cool too...

...but I have a policy about giving intentionally bad advice in F&E (and similar) categories.

*shrug*

Hold up there man. If you start rocking out those sevens at a marathon then the eye candy starts gets fewer and more far between.

Dude, did you read my "corral theory" or something?

I did not but if your theory suggest that the 8:30-10 minute corrals are the best for sightseeing then I think you are on to something and should look for funding a study.

I've been saying this for a long time! I've run a couple HMs in the low-7's and it was a total sausage party. Then for the next two, I slowed it down to about an 8min/mi pace and it was like a whole new world. There were lots of cute girls, and they were talkative, smiling, and looked like they took a wrong turn at a sorority pillow fight. I pinched myself and even splashed water in my face at an aid station just to make sure I wasn't in some kind of dream. From now on, I register my approximate finishing times appropriately so I can get put in corral C.

Run a little faster guys... I was up finishing at 1:33.. I know it's hard to see me from way back at 1:36. But I'm hot & I was there!

Boom!!!!!

If that azz is motivating enough you"ll see me a few feet behind ya in your finishing photo....and my eyes won't be down checking my garmin.

Now Jenn wants Stan in the 6:30 corral

Some people just improve faster than others.

Anything is possible, Stan.

Hell, I'm still chasing that damn sub 4. LOL.

Oomph. Someone's being defensive. I guess you really do mention it that much.

I recently got into running. I never ran a marathon before but will run my first one in December. I have been training really hard for it.
I hope to someday soon to be able to run in Boston. But I know you have to qualify for that and the times are really tough to be able to qualify for Boston. I am making a lot of progress over the last year. I am 42 years old. I calculated that I have to run a 7:35 pace. Right now I can run maybe a 8:30 pace for 10 miles. You think I can bring that down a whole minute by December?

This December? No. But next December? I don't see why not.

She should just make a signature like Niner and make sure it's posted in every single post..just so we don't miss it. :laugh:

That's odd. Not at all, I run a 13 minute mile! That isn't a core area of my efforts.

Regardless, I don't base my self-worth on such comparisons . . . and even if I did, for god's sake, I would at least feign some humility.

Make sure she says it in literally every post, lest we forget that she's fast. I expect a mention of, "I've never been slow, but..." in the next topic looking for running advice.

Seriously I feel like it's an inside joke or something that I don't get.

When you've *really* got it, you don't have to.

Vocabulary school.

Distaste toward braggadachio and fanfaronade != resentment toward success and achievement.

And a valuable lesson was not learned that day.

be sure to pace yourself at a slower pace. You have 26 miles to go. When I did my first one I held my pace at 11 min mile. Then at the last 5 miles I had something left to run faster. Do no push to start and burn yourself out. You have a good 10 mile pace. Run 20 miles and see how it feels. You should run 20 miles several times before the actual marathon so you know you can do it and your body knows what it feels like, Good Luck
