My Bucket List / Fitness Goals
Achieve A Sub 3 Hour Marathon
Still to do
What it is
A sub-three-hour marathon means averaging under 4 minutes 16 seconds per kilometre for 42.2 kilometres.
How to do it
Follow a structured plan of around 16 weeks with long runs and race-pace sessions. Choose a flat race such as Berlin, Valencia or London.
Top tip
Practise your race-day nutrition on long runs.
Why it’s on my list
Not being content with just completing a marathon, i need to push myself, so in-keeping with my other target goals this one is very tough, but i hope one day, achievable.
42.195 Kilometres (26.219 miles; 26 miles 385 yards) in under 3 hours. The world record is a shade over 2 hours at time of writing, so under 3 should be easy!?
