HCM goals

Less than 20 hours to HCM. Some goals for tomorrow:

  • 3.10 Boston qualifier – absolute minimum
  • 3.00 minimum I can mention everyone I ran this race
  • 2.51 personal best
  • 2.45 Fukuoka qualifier
  • 2.40 long time goal

Last night two easy 1Ks with expected marathon speed. Went 3.30 and 3.40. All too fast. Hope I can keep my head calm tomorrow.

Thinking about the tactics, I would like to start with 2.40 pace and then see where I am at half point. Starting slower or planning any further makes no sense as from 25-30K on it will be suffering anyway, no matter what I have done in the beginning.
