    Went for my first real run of the year and did ten 7 30 min miles without putting myself under huge pressure, my Question is using this as a base and by following a good training programe is it realistic for me to run a 3hour Marathon in Cork this year ? I ran it last year with no proper training and came in 3 hours 32mins, Dont consider myself a runner but would like to see what i could do, Is it a bridge to far ? Im not with a club at the moment but looking into it

    To do sub 3 you need to run 26 miles of 6:52.

    The equivalent is about 10 miles at 6:20 under pressure.


    No reason you cant get there by June if you put the work in. There are plenty of marathon plans to follow.

    It's possible but you're going to have to put the work in. Pick a plan (I recommend P&D but there are other good ones out there too) and stick to it.

    Good luck!
