I will have to stop running for four weeks from the 24th Nov. I'm upto about 12 mile long runs with 3 other 40min training sessions in the week.
This query is on the off chance I am in.
I'm not looking to beat any records but I would like to run the whole way at about the 4 hr 30/45 min mark. Could I make it?

Plenty of time to get ready, and if you are up to 12 miles now, you should be able to do it!
Godd luck and hope to see you there.
I read once that the average weekly mileage for marathon finishers was 32 milers. Bearin gin mind that there are quite a few doing more, that means there are quite a few getting round on less as well.
I can probably do some indoor cycling (yuk) but nothing too strenous (spelling?)I can walk as much as I like.
I'm having my eyes lasered and I don't want to jepordise my recovery.
yeh...when you start running again build up your mileage over a few weeks and then continue the good work....you'll probably be surprised that it just ain't that bad!
i'd be more worried about having to go cold turkey for a month....i used to dream about running when i was injured....ok...well i'm sad
one thing you could do is lots of long walks to get used to spending time on your feet...it'll also remind your legs they're still loved and it's not so bad for cardio, especially if you up the pace a bit....i do walks at about 12-13 min/mile and i can definitely feel my pulse get up...
good luck

Lurrvy piccie?
Luckily It look like I'll only be out a week or so. I'll find out on tuesday.
STILL don't know if I'm in tho :-(
I really don't want to get hooked on marathons. The training takes up too much time :-)
