To race is but a dream...

Firstly congrats on the 10k. Do note, we don't recommend doing a 10k time-trial on your own, as it is a very intense distance, so power to you on having a good run and feeling good

I was angry i missed the race and wanted the marker to see where I was currently at.

as for marathon, we have a 6 week program before the marathon, however you need to have been on the 10k training plan and have incorporated a minimum of 25k long runs in that period. This makes going towards the 30k long run easier in the last 6 weeks before the marathon.

over to you

yes.  time for a few cycles over the next couple of months to tune up properly.  I am looking at doing a 30km on Sunday and breaking it into 3 x 10km thirds. i have plenty of recovery time the week after as will only be on base mileage of sorts until the new year.

There is a local Marathon distance race on March 1st that i was contemplating using as a training run prior to a proper effort in either April or May.  Still not sure what to do yet and whether i am in the sort of condition to achieve a 3:30.
