(Im walking it)
Its a staggered start
peeps do walk this
theres a cut off of 12 hours
spose that means more training then, to get under 12 hours ... where does it all end ?
its only 3.5 mph
youll be fine
yeah!
well I'm gonna do it, no matter what, I'm on a mission with this
Boo-Hoo!
Good luck to you all!
dont be silly
i did this in unbroken in walking boots with no training years ago
the only reason it took 17 hours was a whinging wimpy B/F
different muscles
its a walk
Normal to feel knackered, thats fine
recovery wisdom says one day per mile raced
Blimey does that mean I have to take seven weeks A/L after this ?
Its 3 weeks isn't it tortoise? Well, don't run at all the week after Blackpool and just do a little running for a week and a half then relax and enjoy the walk.
bit different from Blackpool though eh?
I'll be doing the Potteries that day, at least its got hills in it.
shurrup:))
dont put tortoise off
tortoise can do this
eeeeeeeeh
does the potts have hills??
4 months off for the stress
at least
(my colleague cant even cope with a day bcak at work, must be the golf course thats done for him)
some of us, like me, avoid the hills at all costs ... course being a Yorkshire gal I know there will be no hills at Lyke Wake ... and there is no need to put me right
Training on the 'ampshire 'ills tho
Oh yes, can you right me up a script to that effect
What if I bribe you with a bottle of Gilbeys .. well ok then, maybe not
Thats ok then ... I will be prepared for this tho, I've started training already, I'm going to do one long walk a week, increasing the distance each time
Gawwd, can you ever be prepared for something like this
i did trailwalker(managed 4o)
on v little training really
i mean i was running, and i did moonwalk mara
i wlaked 20 miles or so in the boots
split up
and did about 20-30 miles per week additional walking for a month before
it wasnt physical, me not finishing trailwalker
I want to be prepared tho, I dont want a DNF, so 25 miles by the end of January, then 35 by the end of Feb, with a couple of walk marathons thrown in for good measure
That should be ok shouldnt it ?
i wanted to go on
wasnt allowed on me own
that sounds fine
Ill flaming drag you by the hair
but i wont need to:))
I'll get me hair shaved then and wear a wig, my legs'll be giving me enough greif fanks ... so instead of dragging me by my hair, you can drag me by my wig
hope theres a nice cool G+T at the finish line, never mind a glass of water ... after 42 miles, that's the least they can offer me!!
we must plan the finish
it will be 4 in the afternoon
perfect for pimms and sarnies
