Got an entry into the Dublin marathon this year. I entered the lottery half thinking I wouldn't get in. Guess I better run it now!
I've been running a couple of years now (since the first lockdown pretty much) and my longest run is a half. My plan is to keep training as I am (80/20 easy to hard runs, mixture of tempo/intervals and a long run every week) slowly upping the long runs and total mileage and then start a specific marathon plan closer to the race.

Does that sound about right?
