Target time/Pacing question!

As the title suggests, I’m struggling with knowing how to pace myself for London in 2 weeks. Sub 4 hours has always been my target but in January/February I injured my Achilles so didn’t run for 5 weeks so don’t know if that time is realistic anymore. My half marathon PB is 01:52:33 (in November) so sub 4 hours should be achievable but I obviously missed a large chunk of my training. I have only managed 19 miles as my longest run (2:43:43) last weekend and did 15.5 miles yesterday (2:13:03). I wanted to run with the Runner’s World pacing team on the day but think the 4 hour pace might be a bit quick and should maybe aim for sub 4:10/4:15 but am not sure. What do you guys think??

Even your 19 miler was run at that pace. So where are your marathon pace efforts ?
If you can run 19 at that pace though you should have a decent chance of going sub 4 but it all depends on the last 6 miles or so.
Pace for sub 4 and don't go off too fast.
