Should we try this again? Running Aug. 1-?

Don't forget that the heat will take 1-2 mm out of your pace.

Your marathon time is likely to slow by three percent for every 10 degree rise in temperature from 50 F. In other words, you'll run 3 percent slower at 60 F, 6 percent slower at 70 F, 9 percent slower at 80 F, and so on. This isn't gospel; it's just a guideline

Does that mean I'll be able to run 8mm by October
Ran 3 very hot, humid, sweaty miles this morning--86 deg at 6am. Good work, katluvr, I'm trying to keep it under 11mm myself but it's tough in this heat.
