I started running kind of late in life but have done 5 marathons so far. In my last race I finished in 3:17 which was good enough to make the podium in the 45-49 age group.

I'm training for Boston right now but will be lucky if I can finish in under 4 hours. I'm having a tough time with winter training in Minnesota.

At 30 miles/week you should be able to start marathon training any time. Most people seem to run 40 or 50 at the peak of their training. My PR race was the result of a plan that peaked at 70 miles/week. Btw, I'm also on Strava and hope you don't mind that I just followed you.

Nice! 3:17 is impressive. What was your marathon time progression like?

How much are you running now?

Lucky for me, this winter has been pretty mild. I never run inside so I was scared I was going to quit running during the cold months, but I made it.

I plan on doing a few long races this year, the first of which will probably be a trail marathon in May.

Feel free to follow, Strava has definitely kept my running going to some extent. It's just fun to always be able to go for a PR / check fly-bys for runners you meet, see other training practices.

Thanks. Here is my progression...

Oct 2012 - 4:43 (Disaster. No idea how to train and had major muscle cramping issues)
Oct 2013 - 3:56 (Followed training plan - 18 weeks w/one peak week of 40 miles)
Jun 2014 - 3:58 (same plan as the last)
Jun 2015 - 3:38 (18 weeks w/three peak weeks of 50 miles)
Oct 2015 - 3:17 (18 weeks starting at 52 and peaked at 70 for three weeks)

This week I hope do 42 miles with a speed day, a tempo run and a couple recovery runs mixed in then 8 miles at race pace on Sat. and a slow 18 on Sun. Unfortunately, I will also be traveling so it will be tough going. My initial goal for Boston was 3:15 but that will have to wait for a fall race. I have decided to just enjoy the experience and try to keep it under 4 hrs.

Good luck on the trail marathon. I ran with a group of trail runners last fall and had an absolute blast. It was a slower pace but it took more concentration and the miles seemed to fly by quickly.

A 50 miler is on my bucket list and a couple of friends are doing a trail 50 in the fall so I have a feeling that I'll be toeing the line with them. It will be nice to train in the summer again.

Strava is great. Feel free to follow me as well. This forum won't let me post links but here is my Strava id: 1428497

Interesting. I think if i went for it now I could break 4 hours (road), but I would probably pay for it.

For now I'm content to just keep adding mileage slowly.

My long term goal is to be a ultramarathoner, but that is still far off.

My goal in that first marathon was 3:45. I was hanging with the 3:45 pacer until about mile 15 then everything started to unravel. I swore I would never do another marathon, lol. Luckily I decided the next year to work a little harder and try again.

A 50 miler is on my bucket list and I have some friends who are doing a couple of 50 mile trail races this year. One in late July and another in the fall. I think I would regret not toeing the line with them in one.
