Title: St. George Marathon Course Pacing Goals Post by: James Winzenz on May 10, 2008, 05:25:36 pm OK, I know lots of people are currently looking to Ogden, but now that I am all ramped up for St. George (already), I thought I would throw some pacing goals out there to see if we can get some groups of people to run together who have similar time goals for St. George. I am really looking to finally break 3:00 this year. With my time last year, I technically have a BQ for the 35-39 age division, so I really want to set a lofty goal for myself. I believe that I am very much capable of this, and will have several months of 50+ mpw prior to St. George this year. Anyone else want to throw out their time goals for SGM? If we have another pre-race FRB pasta party, we can get together to decide where we will meet and "strategerize". Fire away, everyone!

Title: Re: St. George Marathon Course Pacing Goals Post by: Michelle Lowry on May 10, 2008, 09:31:01 pm Realistic goals can only be set after a couple of half marathon races. I did tell St. George I am planning on doing a 2:45, though (no pressure!)! I would love to break 2:47 this year, but the primary goal is sub 3:00, then as far below as my training will support. I would also like to place.
Title: Re: St. George Marathon Course Pacing Goals Post by: James Winzenz on May 13, 2008, 06:45:10 pm Sounds like we already have a good sub-3:00 group here that can help each other out - at least for a while :). I am not sure how much under 3:00 I will be capable of this year - I will have to see how my training goes. I guess I am kind of in the same boat as the others here in terms of needing to re-define my goal after some races this summer. Hopefully I can find some good 1/2 marathons or at least 10K's that will give me a better indication of how things are going. Sometimes I am so jealous of you Utah folks for having all those good races over the summer!
