Rang the bank today having logged on to this thread yeasterday, and bloody hell I don't believe it, the cheque has been cashed and I know that I didn't bequeath. I don't want to get too excited until I get the proof but it looks promising. Was thinking of running Paris but now I might have to revise my plans!
There are some runners who just train for marathons-are you one of them? Ultra's maybe?
John Ketley, apparently you need to have maps of streets, off road etc to be able to use the accuroute cd effectively.
A cheque for this cleared my account 2w ago but I cannot remember if I bequeathed my fee or not !
I bequethed and cheque has been cashed - my brother didn't and his cheque has been cashed too! Aggghhhhhhhh.
So Michelle, I'd suggest well done to your brother and the bequeathers have to hold on till December.

Can it be done?
The good news is that once you have a goal such as the LFM it concentrates the mind wonderfully on getting on with the training. The big problem is that you are unlikley to get into a half marathon before the LFM as the best ones such as Bath are booked up. Same problem I had so don't worry about it. Increase your distances and pace sensibly, rest when your body feels like it needs it. You've got 16 weeks to build up in so no worries unless you are in a really bad way and your medic says don't do it.
On the day forget about running as fst as you can, enjoy the day so take it easy, I ran rock steady 10 minute miles and finsihed fresh as a daisy burning off enough folks over the last few miles to boost my ego and finished in 4h 18m.
So, in answer to your question Chris, yes it can be done, it will help if you follow a training plan, e.g. one of the Runners World marathon schedules. Just keep up the training and eat healthy.
No worries Chris !
I stretch and warm up properly and I have invested in the right trainers and even run on soft surfaces - what else can I do?
I suggest that you take this stuff to another forum. There's plenty of stuff on shin splints and if you've got specific questions then you could start your own. You can run through them but it hurts a lot.
apologies for clogging up your forum - new to all this.
