6 easy then core.

I have finally come up with a game plan.  I registered for Revel Mt. Lemon Marathon in Tuscon, AZ on November 3.  It's a ways out, but I'm going to make a serious effort to get back under 3 hours again.  My plan is to spend March and April loosing weight.  I'd like to get around 152.  That is the weight I was when I ran my previous 2 sub 3s.  Then I'm going to spend the summer building a large base mileage with mostly slow easy running.  Then I will use September and October to work on building speed for the marathon.  If I can stay healthy, I think I should be able to go sub 3 again, especially on this course which has a serious elevation drop and is pretty much guaranteed to be cold. Heck, it's almost cheating.

Isn't that the marathon that is all uphill?

Ha ha Burt. It’s a little over 5000 ft drop.

Allie would call it P.E.D. - Performance Enhancing Downhill.

I like this plan, and the phasing of it. You're going to do great! I haven't been 152 lbs. since 10th grade.

Maybe I should target that too...!!!! Wait, you weren't thinking I ment sub-3 we're you? 😉

IJR, come join me and let’s go sub 3 together.

I love it when a plan comes together. I’m gunna have to check out this Mt. Lemon Mary in November, it fits into my schedule....

Slick, you should come join me. All the blog people should! :)It’s going to be fast.

Is this an uphill marathon? That's what FindMyMarathon.cim says. I'm confused!

About Revel Mt. Lemmon Marathon November 3rd - Your ideas intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'm not making promises yet, as I just can't see signing up for two marathons at the same time. I'll talk to you about it in May. Although, I get the feeling this will sell out fast. Hmm... And where will I train for such a dramatic downhill?... hmm...

From Rhett on Fri, Mar 09, 2018 at 16:12:02 from 66.185.237.66

Go to runrevel.com then select Mt. Lemon.

It’s all downhill except at the very beginning. Looks wicked fast.
