Rio, I'm sorry, but you seem to know what you're talking about with all this running malarky. Should I bother turning up for this Easter Bunny jaunt, or will I end up with Easter Egg on my face?
I'm a five hour marathoner, for heaven's sake! You sound like a pro coach - are you?
Either way, I'm scared...I'm very scared...
Jill - I spent six happy months at TASC and can thoroughly recommend it to your lovely daughter. It can get a bit claustrophobic if you don't get off campus a lot, but then, Charlotte has lived in Marston Magna for years - 'nuff said.
But I do have two Womens Running Network groups that I am the organiser of so have learnt quite a bit.
I am a (hopefull) 4.30 runner this year but my pb is 5.25 so on paper you ar quicker than me.
come along to the Easter Bunny race. It is taking th place of my 6miler on Sunday and I wont be doing much else the rest of that week leading up to London. I wont be pushing too hard just want to run a nice flat( for a change) run at a confidence building pace.
Honestly there is nothing to be scared of you will have a ball on marathon day. you have trained you will do it! I remember being scared for my first time.
If you have any questions you can ask
I was just envisaging standing on the start line; one minute you're there, the next, Jill and I are standing there eating your dust!
I'm looking forward to it, really. Er...when is it?
I am a 10min mile girl really!! looking to break my pb of 64 mins (see not quick at all!)
It is 17th April Easter Bank holiday Monday!
I reckon it will be a nice run. Be good for me to run a flat course! Though I find flat harder than hilly as I have no excuse to slow down and then be able to pick up the pace on the downhill stretch. It is just all out for the whole distance!!
I thought it was the marathon you were scared of!!
I dont want to get bored with Pasta, Rice and potato. Need some help to spice it up. Not to extravagant though please.
Just a couple for you lot to try.
1) Jacket spuds but scrape out the potato and mix it with onion, peppers and cheese. Then put it back into the skin and cover in cheese, put it back into the oven until the cheese has melted and serve with a crisp salad.
2) A quick one for you. fry off some onions chopped fine in garlic, add a tin of borlotti beans, bring to the boil. Add 1/2 pint boiling water mixed with a chicken stock cube and a bay leaf bring to the boil then add some maccaronni pasta and boil for 10 min.
Good luck to all those on there last long run.
Did my long run yesterday, just a slow plod with ipod. Managed 2hrs 51 which I hope was 17 to 18m.
Good luck everyone on the last long run.
Any training advice welcome, I ran my last long run of 22miles 3 weeks ago, and now wondering what i should run these last 2 weeks. Do I taper or do i try one more 12/13 mile this week and then slow down????
please HELP me!!!
thanks
Just looked at the long range forecast for the 23rd and London is due showers with brighter intervals - described as perfect running conditions!!
SO pleased its not going to be tropical.. I need the weather in my favour!!

No panicking allowed it uses up too much reserved energy.
We are so excited that we are in FLM, we spend so much time training to the best of our health and ability and then we all want it to be over as quickly as possible!!!
I'm going to get a Bach's flower remedy from Boot's, it is supposed to relieve stress make you feel positive and induce a sense of wellbeing.
I have only done 18 miles and last year I am sure I did the same - not much difference really - havent hit the big 20 anyway. Did 12 on Saturday which felt quite comfortable in 2.09 in the wind too
Have my costume all sorted now. Showed it to my boys and the youngest said "What have I done to deserve a mother like you? You are mad!"
But my best friend thought it looked great and I wont be missed anyway!
Tobes you are also going to be fine! My schedule from now until 23rd is
Monday - 3miles with intervals
Tuesday - rest
Wednesday - hill run 3 miles
Thursday - club run 6 miles
Friday - miles
Staurday - rest
Sunday - rest
Monday - 10k race
Tuesday - rest
Wednesday - 3 miles
Thursday - rest
Friday - rest
Saturday - 2miles (maybe)
So nice and easy!!! Should be feeling nice and fresh and ready to run on Sunday then
happy tapering all
plus 2 on my hat
Not brave octopus completely insane is more like it. and my friend says I will be completely un-missable in it!!
Although being on the blue start you might!
Have to wait for me at the finish. - or maybe I should give it a trial run at the Easter Bunny on Monday?
been for a plod round Cardiff park with my WRN group. I think they were all a little embarrassed they have an insane group leader as even on the very slow warm up they left me to run on my own in front!!! lol
Will take it with me on Monday and see how many others are making an entrance!!
Rio - Well you certainly will not be missed in your costume!! I think you are very brave, but your children should be immensely proud of their Mum's achievement. Looking forward to seeing you on Monday - I hope.
It starts at 11am. I'm awaiting a reply from Martin re. entries, but there's nothing on the YTRRC website to suggest there won't be entries on the day.
I'm looking forward to it, although I'm a bit sore after my last long 'un yesterday.
Better do some speed training this week - I'll get a personal worst if I trot round at the pace I've been training!
:-( :-"( (@_@)
Bet you can't guess what this is ...........

Training has been stop/start this year. I've done almost all my long runs well (including some outside!!!!) but midweek has been mixed, with speed and hill sessions suffering in particular. Consequently, I feel slow and sluggish, thus the previous posting!
I'm sure your training will get you through Jill, although I know you're concerned. I know that you appreciate the need for a 'slow and steady' race - your tortoise may be better than someone else's hare.
Tom's been training too has he? First I've heard of it.
RU in school tomorrow for Health and Safety bit with our mighty head?
