Pleased to report I achieved a milestone with my first sub 3 marathon last weekend finishing in 2.58.

Any tips would be appreciated xox
Just to echo what Avon said basically - you need more speed in your legs. Do some shorter, sharper sessions. Also consider doing some hills sessions, focusing on driving your knees and working your arms, sprinter-style.
I have just done my first run since the kid was born
I feel so out of shape and so sluggish, that I'm just going to do the same, very short loop (1.7mi) until I feel like I can run again. It's also short enough that I can very easily fit it into my lunchbreak, and shower, and eat, in my lunchbreak.
Really don't want to be a fat dad; fortunately I've got a GNR ballot place this year, so I really have no choice but to get my arse into gear.
