I like to keep it simple like that.

Here's a good test. Go and run as many miles as you can at 6:51/mile. If you can make it 26.2 miles, you can do a sub-3 hour marathon.

Looks like I made a mistake signing up for marathons 2 weeks apart then. Running the MS Blues Marathon on 1/11/15 and then the RnR New Orleans 1/25/15. I'm hoping to PR at the RnR New Orleans. We shall see.

I need to look into this TDEE. Looks like I'm not only running every training run too fast, but also not really watching what I eat. Those are a combination for success in running, right? Lol

Hope the rain up there hasn't been too brutal!

Toenails? What are those?

Building speed isn't just about the quantity of miles; the quality of miles is just as important. Also, nailing a tempo run helps you get stronger mentally. Once you see that you can run X:XX/mile for however many miles, then you'll really start to see results. A lot of what holds people back from taking that next step is…

I must be doing all of my training runs too fast. Probably am. Oh well!

You nailed it. Basically you'll want to do tempo runs, some fartlek, and hills. I'd do tempo runs of 2x 3-4m @ race pace with 5 minute jog between. That should give you a good idea of the shape you're in.

First 20 miler is a huge accomplishment. Still blows my mind when I look down at my Garmin and see 20.00. However, as you get mentally stronger, 20m will become easier. Breaking it down into 4 5 mile runs helps avoid being overwhelmed.

I'd hate to see what I'd weight if I didn't run. My appetite is constant.

McMillan is pretty close to spot-on for me from 1m to marathon.

Add me to the commando list. Can't say I've ever considered wearing anything under my running shorts.

Yea, felt really good, especially in your hometown race. Like I said, I just wish the course was flat so I didn't have to travel to New Orleans to see if I can break 2:40.
