Well there is the proof you can run a sub 3:30 on three runs a week only covering a weekly mileage of 28.7 miles per week for 15 weeks,To think i ran a 3:27 last year on 60 per week mind it was hotter though.The run went to plan as i new i was good for that time so i ran it well.I met a runner from my club called micky and ran from mile 2 to 22 with him and then told him to go for it,he beat me by 2 mins all credit to him that was his first marathon for 10 years,but his pb is 2:45 ish in his day a great runner.Well back to me i ran steady alway, first 21 miles were easy,but the rain was hard for a while as caused my quads to stiffen up a bit but was a great day and my 8th london,next year my big event is uk ironman if all goes well in half ironman in july.Four weeks  i got my first triathlon in alnwick week later first open water triathlon in keswick so no break for me.Here is summary of my splits of marathon.
