ta ra

apologies for confusion.
am i in?, out?, i don't want much, just a cheer would be nice, as i'm probably running on my own.
Need for speed - in of course!!
Cas - i will email you... I work in London, but accept dodgy packages through the post (Rio - yours arrived safely on Saturday!)
Liam - don't worry about jelly babies etc, we have it covered... but if you have any special requests for gels or drinks, see above!!
Am getting evry excited for you all now...
so a big cheer, looking good, get a move on etc etc will do for me.
excited!, i've turned into a jelly fish and i've done it before !!!111
Spans- Congratulations well done,what time did you get?
I never thought I'd get support from a welsh champ medalist.....great stuff.
Well it was a gentle 6 miler last night for me with the middle 4 at marathon pace,felt nice and comfortable.
Starting to get a bit paranoid now,my eldest daughter came home from school with a stinking cold and i was sharing a lift this morning with someone coughing and sneezing,time to go into isolation me thinks.
Welcome need for speed
question for those who have done a marathon before, would it be wise to try and eat something at mile 17 or do you think gels are enough to keep hunger at bay?, wondering if it's worth having a banana or flapjack thrown to/at me?
when I used gels at my 'practice' half marathon I don't think I ate properly for about 3 days !!!! I ate 3 as a practice and intend on taking 4 for the marathon - is that enough ?
I've only done the 2 mara's before so still a bit of a novice myself however on both occasions by the time I got to 18-20 miles my stomach had shut up shop.I even found it difficult to drink.
I'm planning on carrying two sis go gels to take at about 9 and 18 miles and to try and get some lucoz sport down my neck inbetween.
I think it depends on how hot it is and how long you're out on the course.
I know what you mean about your stomach shutting up shop... i think that that was just after my brain had done the same thing!!
first of all 'well done' i know it's all relative, but that's bloomin' fast to most of us i think,
i have eaten a banana at 14 miles in to a 20 mile training run with a positive reaction and it didn't make me feel ill, I did the oakley 20 with 2 only gels, but felt very hungary at about 17 miles i've never ran further than that though, so was planning on more gels. I'm not a fast runner, and have suffered with injury on and off through most my FLM training. My oakley 20 time was 2hr 55mins, so i guess about 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 might be doable if all goes well and old a/t injury dosn't let me down?
Spans- Thats a very respectable time...Well done.
NFS-I would go with how you feel on the day if you think you could stomach a banana then go for it, but i wouldn't try anything new/different on the day.
respectable?
My god: Spans gonna rename you 007Paula: that is simply awesome: Tell you what I think that the best support is if i can tie my champion chip to your shoes and get you to run the race for me.....
Shall be sending you some sis gels in the post: thanks once again
thanks again, will grab a banana if i'm up to it, great to know it's there if needed.
did my stuff arrive ok?
