S7H.

T=50-45 degrees. No wind.

WU 1 mile, CD 1 mile.

Legs a little bit tired from Sunday run.

Ran 6 miles @ 7:45” pace at controlled medium-hard effort.

Was planning to do it at 8:00” MGP. Ended up running faster due to colder weather.

Could run 2 more miles but it’s getting late and didn't want to push it.

Excellent recovery from Sunday run.

Good work. Sounds like the consistent training is paying off. I think 3:30 in a month is very likely barring injuries and other unforseen events. However, be warned that a marathon is a long way to go, and the probability of trouble is much higher than in a shorter race. To offset that, you often need to try more than once to reach your full potential.

I'd say once you can hold 7:40 pace for 10 miles, a 3:30 marathon is pretty much in the bag for you.
