Mental training = VERY hard. I want to run.. but it hurts too much!!!! NOt running is making me feel panicky!
PC and Saffie - don't encourage me! I am reluctant enough about heels at the best of times!
Do i run (or try), or do i miss my long run which completely messes up my physical and mental preparation ?
I just wanted to let you know that I had that unfortunate experience of running 26 miles with a thermometer up my bum last Friday, when I ran a marathon on a treadmill in a freezer set to -26 degrees. The doc told me they needed to monitor my core body temperature but I didn't expect this. It wasn't too bad. – check out www.michelobultra.co.uk
I completed the freezer marathon in a time of 4 hours and 8 minutes. Things went really well and I am quietly confident for the North Pole Marathon that is now under a month away! The fact that I am typing this means that I didn’t lose any fingers to frostbite and the rest of me is fine too, apart from a little bit of cold damage on one of my toes which should be okay in a few days.
My kit worked well and my legs felt good. The cold wasn’t really an issue as I generated lots of body heat. In fact the most uncomfortable part of the run was the probe they used to measure my core body temperature. (You can use your imagination to figure out how I carried it!!) Running with that for 4 hours is an experience I won’t want to repeat in a hurry!
The run was a great learning experience and when things started to get tough at mile 22, I drew on all your kind words of support and encouragement to help get me through. Thank you.
For those of you who missed it on the TV, you can see lots of footage on the website; www.michelobultra.co.uk.
It is also the last week of voting (voting closes at 12:00 Midnight, Sunday 15th). If you can please put in a final big push and keep voting for me whilst there it would be top! (See instructions below).
Take care and have great week,
Noel.
P.S. If any of you did manage to record it, I would love a copy of the tape, I haven’t seen anything yet!
Also, it seems that the t-shirt printing costs are calculated per letter - so "B" might be a better name to go for - or maybe I can go for some symbol route - or can I make an artistic statement by having no name?
Saffie - good luck with your 20, but I've decided not to go for a pre-Kingston 4 mile run - I want to be at the 8.2 mile start in order to shout at my girlfriend (hopefully in an encouraging way)
Bacon roll lovely pics you chaps are very handsome:-)
Mine is not there yet I guess I broke the camera!!!

noel - I think your challenge is better than any of the others - good luck! But I'm afraid I have this thing about girls dressing up as roller-blading animals (we all have, don't we?) so my vote is for Anne - sorry!
WP - thanks for the inspiration - I was sitting there at my desk making excuses for not running this lunchtime. Your post made me go out to the track after all... And today's not-quite-Yasso times are: 3:25, 3:21, 3:19, 3:21, 3:23, 3:20, 3:19, 3:19, 3:15, 3:07 - you can have them all - if it wasn't for your post I think I'd have gone down the pub!
I tink Alex meant weekly mileage ;-)
slightly depends on how much time i have....
I know supposed to enjoy the day and all that as a priority, but i've not run through 4 pairs of running shoes over the passed year to wave like the queen as i trot by.
One thing the 3:30 guys have done is a little who's who - a big list of everyone on the thread and what their PBs are. Anyone else interested in the same sort of thing here? I'll start it off and see where it goes if anywhere...
