Just back from 3 months out with a knee problem. (Tight Ilitobial band pulling the knee cap out of position - cured by lots of physio & pilates to correct the movemnet of the leg through the stride).
Running again now & building up the length of the runs slowly but surely with no problems.
Have got literally 3 months to get ready for the FLM. So is sub 3 still a possibilty?
Best so far was a 3-06, (ran with a cold in that rainy event of 2004). & a 3-36 which I gained off a 5 week training plan in 2003, (lots of quality sessions - much debated at the time on the forum; did make me raise an eyebrow when RW came out with a similar 6 week plan later on).
Confident that I can get fit, but is it enough time to really get race shape & still build up the long run mileage needed?

Sub 3 is a real landmark. I hit 3.06 in 2004 but unfortunately went a bit backwards last year at 3.10. Probably an age thing for me now though.
Best to date 3.01. I have learned that going the extra mile from a 3.06 to a 3.00 is a big step up in class, much more difficult than I ever expected.
I suggest a slow easy one and don't push yourself. Enjoy the day, and regroup for next year.
Better to be running crap than not at all.
