6 weeks out do you think your on target with your prep?
No, it doesn't feel like I will reach my goal of finishing within 4 hours. At least not at the current pace I'm running. I know I will finish for sure given this will be my 5th full marathon, but probably another 4hr30mins or so finish time. I do tend to run a bit faster during a race versus training, so I have that going for me; but I'm not feeling confident in reaching my goal with the current pace. Still a bit more time to train and prep, so we will see. If I do fail to reach my goal, there's always next year, haha.

Would you need to be like 5:30 pace wouldn’t you?
reply
To run it under 4hrs, I need to be faster than 5:41/km pace. Obviously no where near that pace right now. I haven't given up yet and am still hopeful.

You can maybe try and do a test run for your week 5 long run at goal pace for a shorter distance see how it feels?

I'll give that a try next week. Thanks for the suggestion.

Give you a good gauge of where you’re at. And gives enough time to make changes
