I'll be there in the 2nd half.
How is training going for everyone?
So far so good for me, got a couple of 20 milers under my belt, and another due this weekend.
Slightly transfixed by that hill on the profile at the 25.5 mile point.
Aran, I did the race last year and that last hill is a bit of a tease.....
It is a fantastic race put on by a lovely club.
I'm in. Last year I did the HM and had a battle with a V65 (almost twice my age). Guess how great I felt when I managed to out sprint him him for the finish line.....only to realise he was continuing to do the Full distance!
See you all there.
Online and postal entries close today. I will try and get all numbers/packs for entries received out by the end of this week.
There will be a limited number of on the day places at £20.00 on a first come first served basis.
I've been suffering with an ankle injury for a while and wasn't sure that I should run this (Faversham in July took an hour more than previous year and a while to recover), but have kept going and decided this morning that ok to at least complete it. But too late!
I have sent an email to the event address but not sure about risking a long drive to Margate for a risk of not getting in to the full.
Anyway, for those of you in, have a good run. I have done the full the last 3 years and recommend it to you all (just watch out for the sea breeze, it'll get you at some stage of the 2nd half!)
Are we due to get anthing in the post like a number or route plan?
NQAH if you entered online via RW your race info will come via email and the last numbers went in the post yesterday.
Thanks again JFDI, much appreciated and looking forward to it
Best part of entering late is that I must have a lot of tapering and carb loading now to do this weekend...
to quote "transfixed by that hill on the profile at the 25.5 mile point. " i can report as this has been a regular 10 mile training run for me, that it is only 77 gentle steps up that hill towards the police station, (which is my lucky number!)
this will be my first ever marathon so if i get to count those 77 steps next weekend i will be a very, very happy man. having started running last year at 50 years old i have received nothing but kind words and acts of support from Thanet Road Runners, I managed to get my distance up to 18 miles yesterday and now as i taper down! I hope the support will carry me home those last 8 miles.
thank you Rick.
reassuring local knowledge - 77 steps is a nice way to put it!
good luck sunday - enjoy the rest of your taper.
5k fine to do, I got 4m easy on weds then 3m in racing kit!! on thursday!
