Just had a think about this – to see if it’s too hard. I don’t think it is. My intention is to set the time in 2009.
3hr 10mins is current cutoff for my age group (http://www.bostonmarathon.org/BostonMarathon/Qualifying.asp).
McMillan running calculator (http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/cgi-bin/calculations.pl) says this time reverts to a 11:10 for 3km – I’m about 20 – 30 seconds off there. 40:29 for 10km – I’m about 2 minutes off there. And 1:30 for a half marathon – I’m just over 2 minutes off there.
I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, but I can at least see that my PBs are not too far from the mark. I just need to get fit again soon and work hard on marathon training.
Plus, Boston Athletics add 5 minutes to the 35-39 age group qualifying time. So it may get slightly easier for me in four years time if I remain fit and well. ;-)
