Running

For London I'd say that distance (& time on feet) was about peak and shouldn't be reached until mid March. Sustaining it from now until April could be challenging, but we're all different so go for it. Good stats still, anytime of the year.

absolutely agree that its very early to be running this distance in preparation for a spring marathon.

in mitigation i am going for what i consider to be a fast time, you haven't seen my training plan but i'm now entering a speed/strength/maintenance phase while i loose the rest of the weight i want to over the next month and then will try putting everything together in the final month of training.

that and i'm also training a 50 mile race in the summer!
