Advice?
Went to the docs on Monday and unfortunaly have an infection so am taking penecillin and cant exercise for 10 days! Shin and ankle still swollen and sore today, i am trying to think positvely in order to make it better quick!!
Good luck with the weekend runs everyone - and take it easy!
BOUNTY - weewatty@hotmail.com for Monday night organisation/msn purposes. Scotland got its feet back on the ground on Weds night in Ukraine eh? Consolotion was seeked though with a fine result for Croatia.
3 weeks guys, thats all now, come on lets all get rid of these wee niggling injuries!!
I did my 21 miles in 2-43 this morning so 3- 30 should be possible if I have a good day and I don't get held up by too many walking Americans.
Good luck with your long runs this weekend.
Pug hope it clears up.
Lynne: Am travelling with 209 too. My hotel, the Time Hotel is right by yours so at least we will be close.
Pug: Im like you, no NOWT about dat der New York. As much as you appear to have been the general in this campaign , I think its time for us troops to do a bit of rallying round. You have enough to be thinking of !! Have had the Rocky soundtrack suggested to me to. So it aint as bizarre as it sounds
Did 18 miler today thru a very foggy North Wales/Chester..3hr 15..not confident in predicted time. But Ill just go with it. Fully plugged in mp3 wise..for those of you that are interested Jay Z reckons that we are goin to "the murder capital where they murder for capital"..zoinks!!
Small world ain't it lol... right, good okay... you lot decide where we hold our little party ;-)

6.50 miles 43m57s my fastest recorded time.
I'm happy but i will be happier when I complete my long run on sunday and come out unscathed.
I dont remember the Penn having a bar in the hotel, there is an irish bar located in the milford plaza and a few bars across the road. also the Milford plaza is very close to times square where as its a hike or subway from the Penn.
also crown plaza has a bar inside the hotel.
The copacabana has a runners night special on, on the sunday. if i can think of other bars i will let you know.
Just been out with the club for a 5 miler... slow first 2 mile (7:35 then 7:10) then picked it up for the remaining 3 mile... 31:24 6:17 m/m and didn't feel the hamstring... not counting me chickens here... but I'll take it dead easy over the next week, but that's the first time I've ran 6 m/m miling withouth this hamstring seizing within the last 4 weeks... so, it may me on the mend?
Pug
I had my first good run for 3 weeks earlier, 8m in just over an hour with no pain whatsoever so looking forward to a 20 on Sunday.
Bring it on!
Cheers,
Andrew
The Crowne Plaza looks a good idea for meeting up - right on Times Square. Easy to find and easy to find places to go onto (for those who haven't fallen asleep in their beers - that would be me!!).
According to their website they have "The Lobby Bar" - we could make that the venue - at what time?
I did my longest run of 22miles on Tuesday and it was really good. I felt very tired in the last couple of miles, but was 100% focussed on getting to the end and not pulling up short. I found that focussing on landmarks that I knew were approaching helped, and before I knew it I was home. Planning around 18miles tomorrow, but I'll see how it goes. It's only been 4 days since the 22 so I'll listen to my legs as I go along, although they've been feeling pretty good this week.
Looking forward to the taper and the race now - 3 weeks tomorrow! Good luck with all your long runs this weekend.
Pug
Pug really pleased to hear the hamstring is getting better, you must be so relieved.
KP I too keep focusing on land marks, though I didnt read your thread till I got back. I kept telling myself, just get to the duck pond, then the pub, then the church etc etc and it works for me. Also listening to music helps, though when Beautiful South were singing 'dont know what I'm doing here I'll carry on regardless' I didnt know whether to laugh or cry, especially 2nd time around. Might have to delete that one.
You're a star, well done, I've been diggin the front garden for the past 2.5 hours, but having a can of scrumpy then off out on a 10 miler...
Really well done on your 20, that's it, all done for ya... tell ya what, and I mean this... to be on your feet that long in a training run, is no mean feet! Your'e gonna storm NY no problem... bet you feel so good now ;-)
Down to us now, not to let the side down and get our 20 milers out of the way tomorrow, I've decided to do mine at 6:30am from Hoylake to Ellesmere Port, bang on 20 mile... with some tough hills... that'll teach me for being an idler last night and only doing 5 lol...
Pug
As for the taper it depends on what weekly mileage you have been doing. I drop 25% 3 weeks out with a 13 mile run at the end of the week, 50% reduction for 2nd week of taper with 10 mile long run and 70% for the last week. So from my normal 70 - 75 mile weeks I'll go 50/35/22 over the next weeks, but what works for one doesn't always work for another. I would suggest that you maintain intensity whilst dropping the miles, don't run too easy.
I'm sure somebody will be along with different thoughts in a moment
2:21:24 (7:04/mile)
Man, up at 5:30am... drove to Hoylake/West Kirby on the Wirral, then ran back to Ellesmere Port... must be insane... was so quiet and dark, was off it's head...
Felt dreadful for the first 5 mile and worst of all, it's got loads of hills in it as well upto 7 mile... still worked my way through it..
Wore exactly what I'll be wearing in NY Marathon, Nike Vaporfly's, Orange Multiple Sclerosis Vest (Bright Orange just like my club vest)... Club running shorts with my Hilly Socks.. just to test everything out... perfect... slight rubbing on my foot, caused a slight blister but nothing to worry about... felt very strong for the last 2-3 mile and could easily have carried on which is what I wanted form this run.
Didn't even have any breakfast... just a Mars Bar in the car on the way to Hoylake... stopped off at a Shell garage at 13 mile for a drink then carried on...
So... what do I think? I'm happy... this 20 mile was 11 minutes slower than my previous one on the same course 4 weeks ago.. however, diodnt want this one quick, and had a blinder a few weeks ago... well happy to be honest... quicker than I thought I'd go at that time in the morning... everything looking fine, couldn't feel the hamstring, however, I only feel that when I'm running in the 6:xx's per mile... however, looks like it's going away (fingers crossed).
Trail Runner
