Marathon #4

I am officially registered for my fourth marathon.


Yes indeed, Rock n Roll Las Vegas!

My training plan is all set, the first long run being RnR Dublin as it fits with the week 1 distance.  For the first three marathons I ran I followed beginner programs, this time I'm going with intermediate.  It will be from Run Less Run Faster which has always fitted me well.  In this plan I run 30k+ (19+ miles) 4 times and every long run is over 20k (except taper week).


Looking back on my past marathon training it seems I mostly crammed the high volume/longer distances into a 4 or 5 week period.  This time I will follow a cohesive 16 week plan and really see what I can do.  I love running at night, I love running in Las Vegas - this will be crazy and awesome. 

Race Goals

A  -  Sub 5 hours
B  -  PR (under 5:15)
C  -  Make the cutoff points and finish 26.2

As the entire strip is shut down for the race there are strict time cutoff points for the marathon.  I am fully aware of those going in.  I said I wouldn't run another marathon until I could finish under 5 hours and it's time to go get it!
