Hi all, new to the thread and running.

Ran a 3.18 for first marathon a few years back and aiming for sub 3 next year. Not been consistently running since - just a few 5/10k's here and there. How achievable is chipping off 20 mins?

For the first marathon - I ran to feel. Totally blind.. No garmin, strava, nothing. Didn't train smart at all - just progressively ran further until the big day.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

You'll need to go from approx ave 7.30 p/m to 6.49 p/m pace.

As you got 3.18 without much plan I'd say just aim for consistent focused training and a bit of measurement to get you where you want to be, don't go silly and end up injured.

A coach via a running club or paid might be a good shout.

Cheers. Have just bought a 310xt and heart rate monitor. Would love a coach - but budget is minimal. I want to keep it minimal as well. Maybe I could get a consult half way through training or something..any experiences of coaching?
