Another 2.5 mile recovery run tonight.
Total: 436.6 miles
I've got a 2 week honeymoon where I won't be running at all coming soon!
So thats 20 weeks effectively, with 560 miles to go - coming out about 28 miles. From next Sunday I'm heading out with the people training for an autumn marathon so that should pick the mileage up. (Not doing a mara myself, but got a few halfs lined up)
I'm gonna be close, but suspect I'll possibly just miss out. Its always the 2 months after the spring marathon that I really struggle with!
Thanks for the support WR though!
Be positive MA you can do it, I didn't go running on my honeymoon but I had just had my leg taken out of plaster - had to get the plaster off early for the wedding - I had broken my ankle falling over out running.
Ps. married 12 years tomorrow, were does the time go?
442.6 miles

Good luck WR
I was intending to do the Snowdon Marathon, but it's full so no autumn marathon. Instead a friend and I are intending to run the Lyke Wake Walk on 12 September. It's a 39 mile trek from Osmotherley to Ravenscar over the North Yorkshire Moors. Hence the need for a mamouth August.
Does anyone have any thoughts on food intake for a 39 mile run over 8-10 hours. I reckon I'll need about 4000 calories. We'll be stopping for a break after every 10 miles. Does that sound enough?
Couple of weeks back I entered a 30k trail race for this coming weekend, which I am now quite worried about, just haven't done anything close for what seems like ages. Although just had a look at my log and a 30k 5 weeks ago and a half 2 weeks ago, probably isn't that bad, just haven't been doing the small stuff inbetween.
Anyway good luck all, keep it going.
Richard, do you intend to run the 39 miles or run/walk? Gels and jelly babies should suffice and some peanut butter sandwiches and bananas. Is this the build up to ultra running?
I would have thought trying to consume 4000kcal on the run would be quite difficult, have never tried any specialist high calorie foods but now is the time for you to do the testing. Good luck with the training, i've got 11 weeks till the Palma marathon and need to start increasing the long runs!!!
What time are you targetting for Palma? Hope it's cooler than Edinburgh was, now that's a sentance you wouldn't expect, Mallorca needing to be colder than Scotland!!
I have a camelbak octane that I use for runs over 15 miles and carried it at Edinburgh, i have no probs with it. Have been looking at a rucksack with bladder in Decathlon for £25 and thinking about getting that. I fancy the move up to ultra distance but just don't have the time to give it the proper training at the minute.
I am hoping for between 3.45-3.59 in Palma. It should be cooler than Edinburgh, but you never know!!
8.5 miles this week so far.
451.1 miles
week : 20.6
year : 1104.4
Good luck WR
Cracked the 1000 mile........ done a 14 mile LSR today which brings the total to date to 1010 mile, reasonably decent week and put in 39 miles so far, I'll do a slow 5 miler tomorrow which will give me 44 miles for the week.
Working well towards my target average of 50 miles per week.
Yesssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been for a run!!!! Well, four actually and my achilles is definately on the mend big time! No aching in the morning, before, during or after a run (well, only a little ache on one occasion, iced for a couple of days and no pain since). Have taken it very steady on physios advice, very short distances, very easy pace and the stretches really seam to be having an effect. My knee pain is still there, although its only hurting at the front and not as much as before. Physio is happy for me to run as only anterior (i think thats what he said) pain and gave me a couple of stretches but warned its extremely difficult to get rid of. Its been very hard not to speed up when i see other runners but a careful approach will be stuck to and i'm just glad to be making some real progress at last. Won't bother posting my distances for a few weeks, i will see how it goes and if it goes well i will start adding my mileage again.
Good luck WR
JR good luck with the running.
Good 42 mile week for me this week. Hoping for another 40+ week this week. I'm practising with a light weight back pack, bought one yesterday and did a nice gentle 7 miles, felt ok.
13.5 mile trail run yesterday for me, was early morning and was a gorgeous day, I love days like that!!
Just need to keep it up.
Week : 35.2
Month : 69.25
Year : 1153.05
Cheers
did 2 miles on the treadmill tuesday followed by a nice steady 2.33 miles along the canal thursday evening..........PAIN FREE!!!!!
Nice gentle 2 miles tomorrow. Steadily coming along and feeling like a runner again now!
A good long run today, 21 miles up on down hills between Sheffield and Hathersage in the peak district with my new OMM 25 litre bag, which was really comfortable, definitely I'd recommend one. I stopped in Hathersage after 12 miles for a jacket potato and lots of tea, which fuelled me up well. I ran the last mile with a Calypo Ice which I picked up at an ice cream van, I think running with ice lollies could be the future of August running.
I'm up to 899 miles, so should be well within a hundred miles of the 1000 by next week.
I've signed up for the Belfast Marathon next May, it seems you need to sign up earlier for runs these days. I notice Brighton is full for next April, obviously London is full, amazingly Snowdon is full in the autumn.
Got no more leaving dos or big nights out for a couple of weeks so hopefully can get some good runs in.
This week 15.8M, This month 43.1, this year 569, need to average 22M per week.
I have no idea what this particular piece of spam is about as I'm not about to click on any of those links.
Well done on being able to run again JR and to Derek too for passing the 1000 mark!
Glad you enjoyed your run Catcat, sounds like you had fun!
I have done 77.95 miles since my last post. That brings this years mileage up to 677.95.
Most runs have been quite short and last week I went over on my ankle. So much for my injury free year. At leat I was only off running for 2 days. Managed 6.5 miles yesterday on it and it felt fine... phew!
Keep up the good work everyone.
