You and I have VERY similar times (my first marathon was 4:54 and my 10K PR is 55:07). I can't wait to see how you do.<BR/><BR/>I am going to head over and read the Runner's Lounge article.

I think you could do 4:15. That half marathon's weather (and lack of other runners) was at least :15 time penalty. When I plug those numbers into McMillan, it spits back out 4:13. That goes along with July 4 race result as well -- I know there is some calculator to determine effect per 10 degrees over 50 or 60 degrees F. <BR/><BR/>BTW - great article at the 'Lounge.Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401322696942839172noreply@blogger.com
