Hey!
I finished the Karlsruhe-Marathon on Sunday in 2:51:13. 14th overall and I even won my age category (30-35, which was an easy age category compared to 35-40 or 40-45).
I am hooked on the Marathon and my 10K training over winter will lead via a Half Marathon in March to a second Marathon in April 2011.
For autumn-races this are my plans:
In between the last races I will have a proper 3week period, as in your training schedule. The 4 weeks from now on will be a bit less organized with these out of schedule races.
Are these reasonable goals in your opinion? Are they reachable using a version of your sub 35min schedule with additional mileage and additional am runs on 3-5 days a week?
Thanks,
derele

For autumn-races this are my plans:
- 09/30 4 miles handicap fun race: I will use this to test how well I am recovering from the marathon
- 10/09 5K and 10K: I will try 18min on the 5K and run the 10K afterwards as a pacemaker for a friend in sub 40
- 10/17 10K: Sub 36
- 11/07 10K: As close as possible to 35
- 12/05 10K: Sub 35
- 12/31 10K: win the race (last years winner was 34:41 and this was the first foot-race I ever did so it would be a great goal to win it a year after I started racing)
In between the last races I will have a proper 3week period, as in your training schedule. The 4 weeks from now on will be a bit less organized with these out of schedule races.
