I actually wrote quite a bit--maybe too much--about it on DailyMile. 

Here are my splits, which seemed really even, shockingly:

<br>&gt; I don't think so. Trying to see if MAF-only, minimally-shod-only training since last November, and moderating my carbs, doing fasted runs and so on makes a ~3:50 marathon both do-able but also relatively pleasant. 
<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; I would have qualified for Boston in the first two marathons I ran, but those were almost 20 years ago now... And they hurt -- in several ways, but mostly, it seems, because of my marshmallow shoes and broken gait as a result of those shoes. 
<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; I don't rule out going faster than 3:50, but I also don't rule out going slower :) 
<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; I'm looking at it as a training run. Either for trying to go faster in another marathon, or longer (ultra).
