My best time so far is 3:42, but that was done off about 15 weeks training. I currently have acrocked knee, but I know I've got a place next year which hopefully will motivate me not only to get sub 3:30, but sub 3:15.

Any other takers?

eL Bee!

I'm up for this Bear

I was hoping for sub 3:30 this year but got injured - so deferral and all means I'm in too.

Get Meldy chasing you with her yukka and I'm sure you'll manage sub 2:15, never mind 3:15!

Didn't think Meldy could run that fast!

You've built up some nice 'reserves'.

Assuming I get in via the ballot or a club place you can count me in.

Hoped for sub 3:30 this year, got too hot and finished in 3:32:05.

3:15 is my goal for next year either at London, Abingdon or New Forest.

If I get a place I may just join you - I have 2 more marathons this year and hope to have ran 3:30 by the end of the year (done London in 3:44)

Would love to get 3:15 next year

Humph.

Well I was on this thread for 2005 but did not have a good race, so, if I get in this will be the target again for next year.

I'll probably be using the Mike Gratton plan that was successful for many of my contempories this year.

If im still running then this would have to be the target after failing big time over the last 2 years.

Will keep in touch

Good luck everyone.

ive put myself down for a sub 3.30 next year but in a perfect world i want a sub 3.15.

i did my first marathon this year in 3.40 and i realised that i didnt do enough 20 milers in my training, therefore i struggled between 23 and 25, does that sound right? any advice please.

I'm well up for it!

I missed out narrowly (on 3.15) at FLM '05 by 2 mins 47seconds. Absolutely gutted to be honest. I know where I went wrong with my trg (only started last August) so this will be rectified for '06 (Secretly i will be aiming for sub 3hrs but dont tell anyone).
Just in case anyone is interested I followed the MyAsics sub 3.30 trg plan as this was my original goal. I only changed my goal to 3.15 as i got on so well in the trg.
