My goal for the Chicago marathon in 13 weeks is to run it between 4:45 and 5:00. I did a 13 mile training run last Saturday and it took me over 2.5 hours in the summer heat. I have 13 weeks to improve on that to reach my goal.
I have an unusual schedule for the Chicago marathon. Three weeks before the Chicago marathon, I entered the Air Force marathon in Dayton, Ohio. I will attempt one of my 20 mile long runs during the Air force marathon. I might drop off after mile 20 and see how I am doing. I’ve never done this before but I really appreciate the well supported course at Wright Patterson Air Force base in Dayton.
