My back is really good tho!
How is the knee holding up to the comeback? How much are you able to train? Got lots of good drugs to take?
I guess it could be more 'beneficial exercises vs. dangerous pounding of the pavements'.
Anyway, good luck with the healing process.
has anyone done the le Touquet race? my in laws have a place there so I might give this a go. Mind you, I ran in le T in August and didnt enjoy it one bit!
Its not along the beach or anything is it?
A few of us did the race last year and had a blast hence the repeat visit this July. It's a two course lap - you can do 10k or 20k - and runs a short way parallel to the beach but is mostly in the leafy residential part of the town. I really can't wait for Le Touquet - it's a lovely race in a pretty area and a fab excuse for a few days away with good friends!!
Patouka, glad to hear your back is fine now. Can't you pop in to see the doc about your foot though? Might be a good idea to get all your niggles sorted out now rather than have to deal with it nearer marathon time??
Hey, I remember when you were on the Paris thread that you werent running it? But you did the london in the end?? You seemed to be very busy organising stuff for paris socials.... poor you!
(oh man am full - jst had a big stuff up and then started on a box of profiteroles with a spoon....just...need...to put...the spoon down...walk away)! talking of which, some guy on another forum Ive just gone on, weighs himself five times a day!
Patouka - am back up and running did a couple of runs over the weekend and a nice 41/2 mile run by the river this morning and knee seems to be getting better. Just need to get the cardio back now.
Will mail you later to discuss injury stuff
How nice it is to hear from you again. How did Paris go? I was waiting for you and your beret wearing l'usband to pop in and visit us at the social - but you bottled it.
Anyway, you'll be pleased to know (everyone now) that I am doing this race (hooray I hear) and I think I'm going to win it. Magnifique.
Ok, perhaps I'm not gonna win it...I did 25 minutes on a treadmill yesterday, which was my first run for a few weeks sandwiched in between a few drinking weekends away - and I nearly died!! Can't believe I ran 26.2 miles a few weeks ago. Looks like I've got some serious work to do.
Guy, what sort of time you aiming for? My last half was 1hr 36 so I reckon 1hr 32(ish) for 20K?? Better pull my finger out.
Good to see you fellas are prepared to risk spending an evening in Le Touquet trying to prize Rach from her bubbly! I'm not sure if you've managed to sort transport out, but just to let you know that I have my car booked on the 08.15 Saturday ferry from Dover, returning at 16.20 on the Sunday. I live in Orpington. I can give you a lift if you need a one and can get to me or to Dover or somewhere in between.
Before Paris I'd have said a sub 80 would have been possible, but now after 6 weeks off with my dodgy knee - I think sub 85 may be the goal. You've still got about 6 weeks to get back into shape for this one so don't worry just yet.
Is Luca coming along to Le T?
Pathie, I'll have been on the wagon (pretty much) for six whole weeks by then. Noone is going to get between me and that poo on the Saturday night....
Everso glad the gay cow's coming out to play!
As for the gay cow, it so isn't me!!!! Anyway does my bum look big in this?
I make it five weeks to go until the North Downs 30k and a further week until Le T 20k, so await a sleek and slimmed down Dogg next time you see me.
oops! - said it in public now - best plan to do some circuit training...
