I did 3.30 in 2005 and I did sub 3.30 this year in london.
Went to France yesterday and I knew that it would affect me for my long run today.
There was a serious lack of preparation,Sleep, carbo loading and hydration all affected. I didn't have a distance in mind today and just wanted to do the best I could. In the end I did 18.6 miles in 2hrs 21m a PB nearly 2 minutes quicker than my previous best.So iam happy.
My last big run next weekend 21 miles. nearly there.
GLUGG you will be joining us all in NY in 4 weeks time.Easy easy now.I was in an identical situation this time last year and managed to get to that starting line half fit and managed to do 4hrs 06.So there is hope for all.
Well done WATTY on your long run.
Thinking about another 20 or 21 next Sunday then start to wind down...feel like I need another 20 before NYC.
27 days and counting..........bring it on!!! Good luck everybody.

9 10.50 miles
0 10.00 miles
total:165.15 miles
3hour drive and 5hrs sleep Sat night then Liverpool 10 k today and pb in unofficial 41.12( sub 40 next year!).This week 18mile long run ( I have done 4 recent 20 milers plus an 18 and a couple of 16s and that will do me)in a 45 mile week, legs permitting.
Just looked -I have done 11 20or more mile long runs this year -no wonder my friends think I am mad..
Rowan your recent times suggest sub 3.15 NY time - are you quietly confident.
There are a few other NY runners lurking around now so will be intersting to see who says hello
Who knows about a sub 3.15 it would be great to do it but I will stick to 3.30 for now.If all goes well in the next 2 weeks I might revise my time. Rowan
I haven't been on for a while but its nice to be back. This time in 4 weeks it will all be over! I can't believe we are nearly there. I downloaded the marathon handbook from the website and got really nervous and excited (there's a SpongeBob Squarepants Sponge Station and 100 bands!!!). I've never been to NY before and its only just sinking in....
A big WELL DONE to everyone for some amazing runs lately. I managed 22 miles this morning in 3.59 and I felt OK. I finally think I can do it. FOr everyone who has had some crappy runs - just focus on what you have achieved. Whatever difficulties you experience now will make you stronger for the day.
TOP TIP - the day before your long run, go to the cinema and eat some (or lots)popcorn. The combination of resting the legs and carbs did me wonders..!
Ran a 5 mile warm up for a local club Borders race... then within 10 minutes ran the race..
5.40 miles
31:24 (5:48/mile)
and 21st position... how the hell I managed to run so quickly...
Set off steady... not fast like usual.. however, when I hit the church turning left onto the main road the first time, I could feel the hamstring tighten right up... though NNnoooo... and just altered my posture slightly to not put pressure on my back (which my physio reckons is causing the hamstring to tighten)...
So, tucked onto a group of about 6 runners including Dave Tiernan from West Cheshire... and thought I'd just hold onto them and not lose places...
Second lap and legs holding out... started to dig in now, as I was struggling to keep with the group. However, picked two of them off and clung on for dear life lol...
So, getting slightly worried as it should've been a 20 miler today, but fought for club and country instead lol... so, this is my current run up to NY:

Hey Pug and Coronium, WHEN'S THE WEDDINGS, cant be long now, give us some details please were a nosy bunch, (well I am anyway).
Had an awful weekend. Another run that ended in throwing up in heap.
Means the long run has to be done today, not great cos I've been up since 3am.
Oh and I've got a trip to the physio cos I still can't straighten my knee and I'm don't think I can keep on ignoring it even if it doesn't hurt when I run.
Still I've got to keep smiling, I managed to go running on my birthday yesterday so I think that makes me a real runner!!!
What's making you throw up? Are you eating/drinking something that doesn't agree with running? Are you training at the wrong time of day (I throw up after fast morning runs)or could it just be nerves?
It's obviously not a good thing, but you should just relax and enjoy the training and build up - now that you've got this far! Good luck for your long one later - take it nice and easy and ease off a bit if you start to feel dodgy, but keep it going! I bet you'll feel much better when you've finished, and knowing youo've got it in the bag!!
Just totalling up 10 longest runs since say since I started training for this marathon 15 weeks ago (is it that long? lol), and Rowan, just ahead of you, but you've done alot more, recently...
1:21.05 miles (26th July)
2:20.00 miles (17th September)
3:19.34 miles (3rd September)
4:19.00 miles (24th September)
5:18.64 miles (20th August)
6 17.97 miles (13th August)
7 16.10 miles (16th July)
8 16.00 miles (3rd October)
9 14.23 miles (24th July)
10 13.60 miles (6th October)
Total Distance = 176 Mile
Think I defo need 20 this Sunday, as it'll be the last time I can do it... otherwise, it's getting a bit close to NY now... to be doing runs like that...
Lynne
As in my wedding, I get married in Chester on 29th October, then fly out on the 2nd November... can't wait for it all to be honest, less than 3 weeks now... just ordered my suit, picked up wedding ring for me (did Sharon's the other week)... basically, just got to drop the table layouts into the Hotel tomorrow night and jobs a good un'... so Coronium, never realised you were getting hitched yourself lol... so you on your honeymoon too in NY?
Pug
Pug - Great time. Your pace (5:48/mile) was better than my 10k (5:55/mile) - time to get yourself a new 10k pb! Could you not get Sharon to run NY as well?
Rowan - You have certainly put in some good long runs. I will go back over my training spreadsheet and pull out my equivalent numbers at some point, but the 2007 budget at work needs to be done first
Charlotte – Happy birthday. Take it easy. I agree that you shouldn’t be throwing-up (I never have – but then maybe I don’t train hard enough). I would experiment with what you are eating/drinking before and during your runs.
Felt awful at end, which i put down to only having a small 330 cl evian water bottle with me. Well, that and the fact that I had four bottles of beer and half a bottle of red wine the night before. Oops.
I run on my own and have been getting peed off at the fact that I am not speeding up on the long runs. I guess the fact that there will be a crowd, proper hydration and some food along the way should help in NYC. Any thoughts?
Good lucjfor teh week ahead
El C
I've just read some of the entrant info on the website and have spotted that the buses to the start go from 5am - looks like I'll be tucked up in bed on Saturday evening rather than enjoying the delights of NYC!! I also saw a mention of fireworks at 7.30pm to finish everything off, but I'm not sure I'll be able to stay awake for that long (assuming that I'll have finished before 7.30pm!)
