Ok ok, today I did my last long run. I ran for 31 Km (19.3 miles) in preparation for the Lucerne marathon on the 25.10.2009, so in approximately 2 weeks. It didn't go as I wanted but well...
It was cold and I had ca. 300 m of height gain that I was not prepared to do and that together played on me.
Now the big questions is: to try to do the marathon below 4:00 or aim at 4:15? Next week I will decide.

for my experience, it is not that simple to stay below 4:00. I run my first matahon after a half-marathon personal best of 1h38m... and I finished in 4h12m....
I think the important is not to start too fast...otherwise you will meet the famous "wall" too early and it will be not so "enjoyable" to get to the finish line!!! :)))

I know you are right... I will probably start at 5:45 min/km or so and continue on that speed. Or maybe simply 6:00 min/km just to finish it still standing ;-)
