Sounds like the boring ball control game plan that is run in the eastern part of the state. Wonder where KF got it if from? I'm not saying it doesn't work but it can be boring and frustrating to watch when it's not working. Just ask a few Hawk fans.
I've never ran a full before but I would like to keep my pace around 8:30/mi. That would be finishing around 3hrs and 45min. Although as long as I can finish under 4hrs I would be happy.
