So will definitely enter the marathon but going to take it relaxed and not pressure myself for a PB.
I reckon anything between 3:40 – 3:50 I will be happy with.
I’m also doing the Yurebilla training run on Saturday of 35km in preparation for maybe attempting the Yurebilla 56km ultra on 23 Sept

Stay away from the Horsnell Gully area the hills there are brutal.
The legs are very sore today, but I now know what I'm in store for if I i'm gonna do the full run.

I think I should have kept my mouth shut....
Does anyone know of a good program to use to get up to that level. We are starting from a pretty low base point here as well...

Nice work Pels... you run all the hills? Cant imagine running up some of the steep ones (if ambers gully and the hills adjacent Montacute road are anything to go by)... All you can do is think of the good the hills are doing for you - you will fly in the marathon! and as you say its great to get off the flat.

Just search the net for beginner marathon training and you will find bucket loads of info, if you go to a library there are plenty of books out there that you can borrow. I have attached a training program and another with information about the training program.Start nice and slow and build the kms up slowly

Keen to increase my running to at least go in some 20k'ers, don't know whether I'll ever make a full one.
Out of interest, how do you prepare for your interstate runs in the last few days? Arrive a couple of days beforehand? A small run on the day before? Different beds or hotel noises or environments affect you much? How do you go for food, given many restaurant meals can have excess hidden fat and calories? Or aren't any of these things really factors in your planning?
