Hi panad - the Autumn 100 is Centurionrunnings's fourth and final 100-miler of the year. 4x 25-mile out-and-backs along sections of the Ridgeway and Thames Path. Aiming for 26 hours but we shall see.
Thanks for the kind comments peeps, i also had an exercise stress test last week. They had to put the treadmill up to 13% incline and 10kph to get my heart rate to the required level. That worked! Good training for the climb at Waunfawr.
Well done LG on your slogged out 34 miles, good training.
Good luck with your races TR22, You do race alot, so i take it you are an active club member?
i believe we have until end Sept to sort transfers and the process is details on the Snowdonia Marathon website.
Sorry to hear that about the issue you had Rd - good news that it would appear nothing untoward. I had an issue leading up to the 2009 Snowdonia marathon - I collapsed at the finish of my village race and was taken away in an ambulance linked up to an ecg machine with an oxygen mask on! I had a hypoglcaemic attack which was down to poor fuelling strategy on my part. Lesson learnt although I made sure I took it easy in that year's Snowdonia by pacing Ru, who used to frequent the RW Snowdonia thread.
Rd, there is a relatively new MAF UK pdcast which I have found interesting (although I wouldn't listen to last week's episode!)
Sounds like a nasty experience John.. Good job these races are on the ball with medical staff these days.
Tried to find the MAF UK podcast??? Have you got a link? I have listened to the podcasts on his own website.
Hope you are still doing the MAF approach and enjoying it John. When i started doing the faster higher heart rate stuff is when i had my blip!
What's your new 10k pb TR22 please tell? Must well under 40 mins if you are a sub 3 runner.
Yep, just a one off Ralph - there were circumstances - if it hadn't have been for it being my local race and "just" 12.5k I wouldn't have done it. Lesson learnt re ensuring properly fuelled for any race. Link to the podcast set out below - hopefully it works

I must admit not religiously following MAF approach - only just started running again - had a break of 4 weeks or so after ditching the orthotics - I was getting a bit of discomfort in my right Achilles so thought best just stick to long walks to get used to not wearing orthotics
What's your flat mara pb? I'm so nosy!
For anyone looking for places i've seen a few crop up today on Facebook. There's plenty out there if you look for them.
What trail runs do you do out of interest?
Actually Don't do much Trail running. When I first made this account I used to only run on the Malvern Hills or in the Wyre forest which is local to me. But have 2 kids now and the travelling time to and from these places adds up. Still like to go when I can but I'm on the road much more. Having said that my absolute favourite place to run is Coed-y-Brenin. Done the half a couple of times and did the 10k earlier in the month there.
I've also had the urge to do a Coastal race and just enjoy the views etc rather than banging out a time. The Brecons is another place I need to get to. Hopefully next year!
I tried the Low carb high fat thing a few years ago now and did my worst marathon time. My personal view is that it is too extreme, like many Fad diets. I understand the science behind it but you can still fat burn efficiently by just slowing down rather than stuffing yourself full of fat!
Liked the chap being interviewed( Dwain roberts) who apparently is doing the double SNOD so must be familiar to T rex and the others doing that crazy one.
TR22- I too think you have a good chance of going sub 3. From your recent 10k time you have the speed!
Have you listened to episode 4 Ralph?
I'd agree with others TR22, based on my experience over the years in trying to go sub 3 I'd say you've got a very good chance
I'm getting out for 3 hour run in the morning, going to pop a park run in there! Did 2.5 hours last Sunday it was awful... but hilly!!
Hope all the training is going well
drop me a message here if anyone wants the place
Cheers John, Ralph. If you never heard from me again after the race it's because I failed in the sub 3 attempt..
Unfortunately he was not at his best or was carrying some injury and had to pull out of lap two after about four miles and return to Llanberis. He recovered well enough to then complete the official marathon in 4:15 though!
I also noticed he was one of the few finishers of the recent Ben Nevis ultra (75 miles) which started at Loch Ness and included pathless bogs and river crossings in the Monadhliaths and the Carn Mor Dearg arete route up Ben Nevis. All to be done with a 19-hour cutoff! He did it in 18 hours. Utterly impressive,
Trailrunner how did your hungover run go?
Well done on the 267 days of consecutive running! Do you have a target of how many days you would like to get to!?. Most I've managed is about 3weeks!!
Well this year is my 25th year of running so I decided I'd run every day this year plus do a race a month (medal giving). I do loads of races belonging to a club anyway. The thing is though that the running every day seems to suit me, the shortest is a mile so I may well continue next year!
Celebrating my 25th runniversary lol!
