After failing to get into FLM for past 6 years I am thinking about going for a Good for Age place.
When do I have to achieve my time by and can anyone recommend a good fast marathon to try and get it.
i need to get under 3:45 and my most recent races have been a 19:22 5k and 42:00 10k. I am just about to do a half marathon on Sunday - what sort of time should I be looking at getting to realistically achieve 3:45?

42:00 10k gives a prediction of 3:17 marathon and a 1:32:45 Half marathon.
so by that you're well on course.
A 3:45 marathon gives a prediction of
1:45:52 half.- So I'd aim for around that or slightly faster
i just can't run very fast.
changed. This info will not be out until July so I understand.
In your case though CG, your 5 & 10k times suggest that you would break 3:30 with the right training. In which case I reckon you would definitely get a GFA! A girl in my club has similar times to yours and she ran 3:23 at FLM. Best of luck to you.
I think the female times are pretty unlikely to get tweaked.- there aren't many female runners at the front of the field so you might be ok.-
Cardiff was the last possible place to get a GFA place last year,.
(Although if you were going for Championship( 3:15) then you have a couple mor months).
Nottingham's not too bad, although you could drop on a hot day in September.
Good luck and I hope you make it.
