Running on empty, Jackson Brown. Oh yes!
[How does one load 3000 calories in a day, it's impossible!]
Just eat normally, with a nod towards getting more calories from carbs- but I still say that most runners follow a high carb diet naturall.....
Thanks Jason D, words of wisdom. As it happens I am a breadspudspastaholic, so I'll go back on my diet
!
Night all!

You're up late tonight, jason?
(No, that's not a song.)
(As far as I know.)
Just worked out we've got 550 more posts compared to last year's thread at the same stage. Someone needs to start next year's shortly. *Frodo*?
We also seemed to know race numbers by this time last year. They're not on the website as far as I can see.
Thank you everyone. Not ready but it is time.
Wedi blino. Cysgwch!
Tired. Sleep!
Truth is, I know I'll still probably be out for 2013
JD funny song titles....they are rather apt
Reproofing my montane marathon jacket as I type.....just in case of snow
Off out for last 4 mile jog this morning and then I will be clearing my garmin of all data.....dont want to get to the top of the pass and then have it bleeping at me the memory is full !!!!!! Just got to pack, go shopping to leave the teenagers some grub to feed themselves with and I should be ready for the off.....gonna have a leisurly drive up to Llanberis and hopefully stop for lunch somewhere nice on the way
Oh yes and dont forget to pack my trainers ...eck that wouldnt be good
You could probably comfortably watch the footie results come in first and I'll still be out 'running' !!
... In other news, just heard the words 'Saturday' and 'arctic blast' on the weather forecast this morning ... joy !!
as for songs ... how about ...
"In The Bleak Mid-Winter" (or is it too early for carols ?)
or the Automatics :
"Whats that coming over the hill, ... is it a marathoner??"
have we decided the weather yet as i have to pack this afternoon
Last run completed, 5 miles 'easy' but slightly quicker than yesterday for 2% less average bpm
The hay is in the barn, and the barn is closed.
In just over 48 hours be at the start of most probably the best marathon in the UK, can't wait, especially with the weather forecasts.
Could be a day for the camera!
right will make sure that phone is fully charged.......
I am wearing shorts and vest whatever the weather with some armwarmers..........just need to know if i need to pack a jacket and if so which one
ooohhh getting excited now and it's already started getting colder here
my songlist includes ACDC Highway to Hell, then in Beddgelert Bon Jovi Living on a Prayer (cos we're 1/2 way there) and for on the way down the last hill Quo Down, Down Deeper and Down. Oh and for when i cross the finish line i'm going for Whitney One Moment in Time.
need to make a SNOD playlist up !!!!
My target for Saturday is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WP2exZurfc
BelleVueRacer .... thats a prett good target to have ... however mine is more .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3b9gOtQoq4
As regards the weather i was parked at Pen Y Pass carpark last night just after 6pm taking a call of nature and just as i thought might happen it began to sleet for around five minutes.
One forgets that living on the coast in Llandudno it never gets cold and within reason i can wear shorts and teeshirt all year round.
It is still 13C in llandudno but was 6C at Pen Y Pass, it really took me by surprise just how bloody cold it was in the mountains.
The Lord has already made his decision that Saturdays race is going to be cold and if the wind picks up it will be brass monkeys weather.
Oh why couldn't it be a half marathon on Saturday because at the moment i am not motivated one little bit to do this race.
If anyone was desparate to take my place so soon before the race i would definately consider staying indoors keeping warm.
BVRB, we're eating in Villa Marina Friday night... I'll review that here and you let us know what WAL is like...
Gutted we're staying in Caernarfon and not LB, we'll have a sing song on the mountain then a sing song by the coast...
Weldome to Wales Pete6 and Thank for the advice PJL. Born & Bred in Rhyl so I was used to North Wales weather until about 20 years ago, since then I'm a soft, southern shandy-drinker...
