I'm also trying to do at least one HR restricted run per week, whilst slowly increasing distance week on week. Managed an 8km jog (5:13/km @ 150BPM avg), which included a large hill.
Did an 500m intervals/steps/hill run yesterday, with interval pace hitting 3:30/km.
I'm thinking if I maintain these sessions and then go for a long run on Sunday, with distance increasing slowly toward 23miles max then I should be sorted for a decent first marathon time.
