Number 7 done, knees are beyond repair 4.19 today. I suspect a 5 hour plus time for tomorrow!
What are you doing in the way of recovery runs in between your races, brer?
Dal i fynd/keep going brer. Quite inspirational - time to lace up my trainers & start running again me thinks - have just been keeping fit with long walks with my dog!!
Just think of all those guilt free mince pies and chocs you will be able to enjoy in 3 days time.
Diolch John, Panad, Trex, LG and Foow for words of encouragement. Number 8 done in 4.32.. 2 to go!!
I think you ought to put new trainers on your Christmas list.
And new feet/knees/hips....! Just finishing 8 in 8 is amazing but these are great times Brer. "Enjoy" the last two!
almost there now Brer - bimble down a gear now, remember you still need enough strength to carry all this week's bling haul home!
To digress - I have just entered a 100-mile race this morning (for next October). Better start training. I intend to finish this one. It'll be a PB because there's a 28-hour time limit.
All good training for another double SNOD.
C'mon, brer. You can do it.
1 to go??
You OK, brer?
Tis done..10 marathons in 10 days...never again
It has been a surreal experience and I have had to dig deep at times for motivation, physical and mental positivity. I really cant think of any other 10 day challenge that would be more gruelling.
No marathons until December 19th..
Inspiring - well done! Pity the courses weren't more interesting or kinder on the feet.
I've just had an idea - how about 10 SNODs in 10 days? You could do them in pairs by starting at, say, 1900 every other day, finishing one at midnight and the other at 0500.
Or I suppose if you were short of time you could do 10 in five days ...
Well done Brer. Amazing, incredible stuff. Can't believe you are allowing yourself 2 weeks off. You must be going soft
10 SNODs in 5 days.... go on TR I dare you
Awesome brer, just awesome!
My clubmate would be jealous re your ability to do so many marathons - he's limited to just weekends and school holidays - he had hoped to rack up his 26th so far this year (52nd in total) yesterday - he had travelled to take part in the Malaga marathon, but it was cancelled as a result of torrential rain!!
Heard Malaga was cancelled, nearly went there instead of Kent!
Thanks for you brill comments guys, I can honestly say I have never felt so ditched in my life. Marathon total for 2016 now is 58..ish...
Yeh, 2 Snods a day..thud
Hmm. What have I said??
I'm comfortable with two SNODs in one day, which is a start, and what I intend to do again in 2017. I could build up from there, I suppose, and do three in two days the following year, then four in two days, and so on.
The trouble with my scenario is that they would all be done in darkness, apart from the official race. This would add an extra dimension of difficulty, or enjoyment, depending on outlook!
Sounds like the seed has been sown TR
Brer, I assume you have plans afoot to make it 60 by the end of year! How are the feet today?
Have you two managed to keep up with 100 Marathon Club meltdown that has been playing out on Facebook over the proposed rule changes? As full vest wearing members do you guys pick up on this infighting when speaking to others at races? Makes me wonder why I am so desperate to join.
I avoid club politics, AGMs, committees, etc. and I'm not on facebook so I'm blissfully ignorant.
It's just such a great vest to wear.
I know everyone here loves SNOD and Snowdonia, so in case you hadn't heard about this and are interested, the Run. Coed y Brenin Ultra Weekend is a brand new 2-day course event for ultra runners taking place across the weekend of the 8th and 9th of April, 2017 and tickets go live in 5 days time on Monday 12th Dec. at 9.00am BUT places are limited to 50!

We're all training T Rex!

Roll on 00:00 1 Jan!!
Belated Chrimbo wishes Snodders from my holiday gig in Scarborough. Hope Santa treated you all well, my Christmas day composed of a self-planned marathon of 26.4 miles then podge out! My credit card is ready for 00.00 1 january then alarm set for Hardmoors Ultra on New Years Day
Well, I went for my first ever run on Christmas Day with T Rex Jnr, freshly over from the US, but that was only about 8-9 miles!
I'll start the list on 1 Jan.
More doubles in 2017 please. I shall be starting at 0450 (to give folks ample warning).
I've upgraded my broadband speed just to be on the safe side on New Year's Day ...
