Last year in CIM, I successfully implemented a "cut down" approach for a 3:20:46 PR and BQ.

For this marathon, I will do the following:

1st 2 miles @ 7:54
next 2 miles @ 7:44
next 2 miles @ 7:34
final miles to finish @ 7:24

This method allows you to start slower and finish strong.

If anyone is targeting around this time, I'd be interested in running along side of you, if possible.

I and a friend will be running Phily this coming weekend as well. He is looking for a BQ3:15 and I am looking to knock off another state.

I like your approach. I have done the start slower, finish faster method. The 2005 and 2006 Flying Pig Marathons. I started out with the 3:20Pace Group, ran with them for 5-6 miles and ended up with a 3:06 and 3:07. To top it off I ran a 3-4 minute negative split in both races.

Good luck to you!  cr

Craig and PacerChris -

I'll be seeing at least one of you. Since I didn't accomplish my BQ at Chicago, I'll be making another attempt at a 3:15-3:20 in Philly. I'll probably start out with the 3:20 group and if I feel good, pick it up slowly from there. Craig - maybe I'll actually get a chance to meet you, since we ran a few miles together with the 3:20 group at Detroit last year.


Good Luck everyone.

Hey Larry,
It will be neat to meet up with and run with someone from the CR. I'll look for you for sure. Safe travels!Craig[/URL" target="_blank">

My 1/2 marathon number is still available if anyone is interested.  Otherwise, I have myself a nice race shirt to fondly remember not running it.

Good luck everyone! 

I'm be aiming for a big day tomorrow, but the forecast keeps going south. :-P It feels like I'm bringing all my running gear so I have the right mix of layers for it. Hopefuly it will go back to the 40s at least.

Drop me an email if anyone is looking to connect tonight,
Craig

The calm before the storm...best of luck to everybody tomorrow.

Congrats to all who finished.

I was injured and wasn't able to make it today. Does anyone know where I can return my timing chip so I don't get charged $30?

Thanks.

I was very disappointed with the organizers. I tried to change my race to a lesser mile race but couldn't get a hold of anyone. Nobody returned any of my emails or phone calles. i was really looking forward to it too. I don't think I will sign up for this one again.
