now tis on
and i'll try to send my e mail to you
ive sent it
see if ive done it right
Perfect, all worked! Thanks Mick, I'll send the group email out later this week
Hi Iron Pingu
thanks for that - appreciated
i dont know where we'll be, but somewhere with RW Mudchute crowd
a lot really does depend on Philip's behaviour really , how much i move about etc, hes happy on the move,
he doesnt appreicate me talking to people sadly
so, i do hope u all wont be offended by any of this - but i have to survive with him and have a life myself
Dear fellow RW forumites - spectators and runners
This is Mick speaking
Some of you will no doubt know a lot about us , some may not
So, to say -
We as already stated hope to get to Mudchute to have a day of fun
But my day will depend on Philip’s behaviour, as he is most content on the move, and not so much us being static
He sadly does not give me much chance to socialise with anyone, he really craves my attention , Philip can be extremely demanding, he can do very little for himself, and he cannot talk he shreaks
So, please if I appear to be ignoring anyone or not interested, I’m sorry, I’ll do my utmost best to be respectful and polite and sociable to you all , but my life is easier when he’s happy
I myself would so much rather be running, and its only due to London marathon bosses that we are not
So, my apologies are given up front,
I do hope you all have a fabulas day
If there’s is anything you’d like to know from me, then please feel free to ask, online here or on the day, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you
Best wishes always
Mick
Mick - it will be lovely to see you and Phil there
Hash - happy anniversary
Hope you have had a nice day!
I thought I was coping well with my condition (hyperventilation-induced epilepsy) but the pair of you put all of us to shame!
james
many thanks -
yes i'm sadly an " Old Hand " LMAO
but you take care and look after yourself friend
i am lucky TBH, my wife is never well, massive medication intake daily
Temple Lobe Sclorosis
my son Philip he has mutiple problems and has lots of daily medication
that just leaves me
- my passion - Running, not so much as what i did do ,
Morning team 4!
How is everyones training going? I did 5 miles of intervals last night and have an easy 5 miles tonight.
Loving my new Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11's and ran in summer atire for the first time this year! no more hat, gloves and long sleeve!!
Summer attire! That's crrrrrrrrazy
Last run I did was jacket, hat, the lot. I used to be a Brooks Adrenaline fan, not sure why I stopped using them, wear Saucony now.
Still no running for me which is annoying, but I figure if I get completely over this I can blast the miles out next week.
I was of the opinion that, I'll be cold for a mile or so but I'll soon warm up, and I'd prefer to be cold to start with than hot all the time! Think I'm still going to wear leggings though, my legs didn't feel too hot and theyre compression ones so supposed to be good for you!
I'm on a step back week this week after 17 miles last Sunday, 2hrs 39mins, so hopefully I'll be able to do sub 4:30 in 4 weeks time!!!
It's my first marathon yeah. I've done 2 half marathons in prep for it, the Four Villages in Helsby (1:53:30) and the great north west half (1:52:47)
They say as a rule of thumb times your half time by 2 and add 15 minutes. I'd be the happiest person ever if I could do sub 4!!!!!
James
i do so hope all goes well for you
just try and be reay to expect the unexpected
see how u feel at 20 - 21 miles
id be just concentrating on the finishing if it were me
the marathon can even destroy the best on the day
Yeah I am thinking that, as long as I finish in under 5 I'll be happy. I've done 1 20 miler, 1 17 and I've got another 20 next weekend before my taper.
I'll always have that little voice in my head saying 'could you make sub-4 though??'
Suppose there are too many variables that you can't calculate for, weather etc...
james
yes friend of course you will aways have that little voice in your head
trouble is - phscyological sub consciously now - that could be a danger
you've got your heart and soul quietly set on that
tis good though that you've done 20
you call them variables - thats good, least ure think ing about it
over the years i've been running along with some of my marathon friends ( i'm speaking of OLD Hands ) mind, not inexpereinced peeps
and they've or myslef felt fine around 18 - 22 , and by the next mile, its been all but over
then the battle of mental stamina has to overtake,
They do say the race begins at mile 20....
Stomach does flips everytime I think 'its only 4 weeks away'....
yes i know
try and relax,
stomach nerves can cause sickness - and jeely legs, its called excitement
people say its good- it can effect ones performance and make running hard
you can only learn about marathons from marathoners
Trust me
Can;t believe some of you are still running in winter gear, i've been in shorts and top since Feb.
I prefer to be slightly cold whilst waiting at start and then soon warm up once on the go.
Did a 20 mile run on Sunday and felt okay, leg could tell I had done 20 but still had a bit in reserve.
Aiming to get as close to 4 hrs as possible this year, did 4 hrs 37 last year but right hip ached last year after 15.
After seeing physio, i've now got loads of core strengthing exercises whihc seem to be helping the hips.
Mick
Welcome along James.
Andy any chance od a look at those core exercises? It's been on my 'should do' list for far too long. The best I manage is a half-hearted plank, collapsing in a heap after a pathetic minute.
As for the winter leggings and top I'm still wearing a hat and gloves it's still icy in Northern Ireland.
After 24ish when you come out of the underpass onto the Embankment it's not so much a run as a victory roll, with optional blubbing if it's your first or you've trained like hell for it.
Just got my race number - 1895
Going to go out for a gentle bike ride today and if the chest feels good, 20 miler tomorrow! Ok, maybe not, but I'll do a few miles
I've done London twice before now, and the wheels always come off at around 20 miles. Last time it was because the balls of my feet felt like they were on fire, had to keep taking my shoes off and massaging my feet!
