i've found that with quad soreness it just takes time. i'm sure the icing is helping speed the recovery process though. good luck. also, a run is a run -- when your body says super slow it's okay to go super slow.

Many thanks Allie. Your words comfort my pain.

Do you think I have it in me to pull of a sub 4:00 marathon in June? Do you think my training is "good enough"?

Keep those cheers & 'pat in the back' coming, they feel great.

i think you can absolutely hit the sub-4 next month. you have been putting in some solid and consistent training, and your daily km/mileage is looking good. just keep building that endurance up with weekly long runs and you should be able to smash through the 4:00 mark. the speed is there.
