Thanks! I think everyone who runs a marathon for the first time has an overly optimistic idea of how fast they can run it at the start of training. My original goal was 3h30m, which changed to 4h. Realistically, I'll probably finish closer to 5h, but my goal is under 4h.
Bahahaha true! The real time goal setting comes once you decide on your second one. You'll suffer the whole way, then the second you cross that finish line you'll ask "when's the next one?!"
I ran a lot of Spartan Races for several years, it never failed that I was like "Never again!!" during the event but got that post-race high immediately after and had to do another.

That's quite a lot of running! Solid plan though, you're going to do great. Do you have a goal finish time for the race?

Oof, that also sounds optimistic. I'll let you know how I feel in three weeks!
