Amsterdam marathon on Sunday. Did pretty good training for 11 weeks but probably wanst getting enough volume in. Did 4 or 5 runs in the 28 - 32km range so know i can go pretty long.
Just really not sure what pace to set off at. I want to aim for 3.30 but know that 3.40 is probably much more realistic. Only previous marathon was 4 years ago 1 stone heavier and not much training for a 3.57.
Is it stupid to set off at 3.30 and see what happens? Or should i set off at 3.40 ish pace and try and push on? i cant see myself ever feeling great at 30km and thinking now lets push on.
