A very quick post.
Oscar and I ran an old 5km course around the block today. Pushed really hard and completed it in 0:23:53. That's less than 5 minutes a km. That adds to the 8km's that I turned out on the treadmill last night (0:41:08).
Hal Higdons Intermediate II Marathon plan is going along great. Initially less kilometres than I normally do but the long weekend runs start adding up soon.

Mmm, In looking at the program I thought, that is bugger all milage, I am doing that now, maybe I could do a marathon. Mine is only 12, well really 11 weeks away now...hopefully common sense prevails and I stick to the HM.
A very quick comment: So speed is improving, that's good.
Sounds like you are in just the right spot for a great result. Head down etc for a couple of months....
About time Oscar went for a run, he's getting lazy.
I reckon anything under 5:00 per km is ripper stuff. I was stoked when I first started cracking 5:00. Onya big gun.
nice job - look forward to watching the marathon training unfold...
Got a target time in mind for the marathon?
I reckon if you want to run more km initially just do it and wait for the program to catch up?
Also like Tesso said a longer near race distance run isn't a bad thing either.
Can't wait til 6' next year!
Cheers R2B
