Q, what is a good basic entre model and at about what price should i be looking to pay.
I feel that maybe some of my more longer runs need to be a bit more accurate and I hope something like a GPS would be a great help.
Where did you get a transformer for your Garmin?, My mate is on his way back to US tomorrow with mine, so I will need to get the same thing.
You will need a transformer if your charger is the same as mine as the connections to the forerunner are non-standard and the charger isn't 240/110V switchable. We have lots of US kit at work so I charge mine there (fortunately the 15 hour battery lifetime means this not too much of a hassle) but I suspect someone like RS, tandy or maplin or even a travel accessory shop would sort you one out for 10-15 quid.
Also what's everyone's training like so far for Dublin? I'm struggling!!!
training starts again tomorrow
Many thanks, I will look into it!
but i have potteries marathon before Dublin
If you need a 240V/115V power converter, try amazon.
As for training, I'm settling in for a summer of ~40 miles per week with 5 running days, inc. 1 long 'un of ~15M and a speed session of yasso's or mile repeats.
Aim is to keep this going through to beginning of august then switch to last 10 weeks of RW marathon training schedule.
At least we'll be training in daylight compared to the dark nights for the FLM.
I was going to start in July too Andre, but am planning on racing 10ks through the summer and keeping to a max of about 8 miles. Since Sundays stratford half where I really struggled in the heat, i dont think Ill be up to much more.
Hippo, I came so close to meeting you on Sunday that Im going to make sure I do in Dublin!
ps have you been drinking ?
nope, not at work
xx
Does anyone have any suggestions - looking for somewhere near to some beer for the saturday night

hows the training
what's the course like? how hilly is it, looking for advice for novices
Hope things are fine with you. What is your next race?
next racew is the DK 10K on Weds
Think hubby is just trying to motivate me ( at least I hope so. He did wait for me today on the cycle and said if I lost weight I would be a good cyclist. I am fine on the flat but put me on a hill and I just cannot do it.
Not major mtns though....just lots of little ones.
I reckon it's better to expect them than be unprepared.
