Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to accomplish my short term goals first... Once I do that, I will have an idea of what to expect long term... 44 yrs old now and since I've been injured free for 1 month I am jumping back on marathon training. Any recommendations for a good marathon in December 2021? What is your recommendation?

Personal:

Don't knock it until you try it.

Nice running Benny, thats some pace, but as it should be right on track for 1 min slower than your goal Marathon pace, or thereabouts!

I think your going to blast the 3m half marathon, I just been looking at it on their website looks pretty good course too and a nice place to run. Heres loads of goodluck every day for the run upto your PR! awesome :-)
