Running for my life...

I'm up to about 30 miles per week now. My mileage is increasing but my pace isn't getting much better. It's mostly the last few miles that really kill me. I ran 16 miles last weekend and averaged 10 min/mile. I was averaging about 9 min/mile for about the first 10 miles and then it got a bit more tough. I think my "wall" is currently at about 13 miles. I'm going to have to push that back about 10 miles if I expect to do well on May 17th.

Allan, this is your first marathon!!!
Just finishing is a huge accomplishment! You don't have to rush yourself when running 26 miles!
If your wall right now is at 13 miles, maybe that means you're pushing yourself too hard.
But what do I know about training for a marathon?
