There is a half marathon cut-off time for this marathon?
Sounds like it's going to be an expensive day. Good job I won't have to pay for accommodation as we'll stop with either Chris' parents or my parents
HY4, good luck with the job hunt!!
Can anyone recommend good, not too expensive accommodation within easy reach of the start? (I'm just being lazy...I could look at the official web site/maps, etc, but prefer getting answers on here!!)
R.B. there's a big hotel by the leisure centre, forget which brand it is. or the swans nest is nice & even closer.
Cheers Ro........... [formally know to work colleagues as R.B]
just water
Is any one following the Garmin training plan, I intend to do this one on the sub 4.30 hour schedule with an eye to completing the marathon in around 4 hours
Eeeek!
Never done a full marathon before.Have done 2 halfs though (does that count?)Rejected again by FLM (I'm not bitter)bas@**ds
Thinking of running Halstead or Stratford not sure which is suited to marathon virgin.
Anybody out there done both????????
Did my first marathon a couple of months ago (Cardiff): it's fun in a weird kind of way....
Hammer time, yes 2 halfs definitely count as a full marathon, or at least that's what my five year old thought after I'd completed my second HM earlier this year.
Not sure about Halstead versus Stratford, though Mark Foster on page 2 above clearly has strong feelings on the subject. I rather fancied Lochaber and am still trying to persuade myself somewhere an hour away from home really IS more sensible!
I've had the same decision to make. I've decided on Stratford for 2 reasons. I'm quick enough to meet the cut of time for the first lap cut off time and I won't have to pay for accommodation as we can stop at either my parents or Chris'.
next year i wont need to worry about the cutoff either
thankk god for that
still not a way to run a marathon though
This will be my 1st Full Marathon!
last time i saw you, you were black and furry!
well, this is a localish one for me, so i have to do it
Who are you, there ?
perhaps I should change on here !
i just dont post much on talk there
im plodding hippo in here usually
and there
and my gin pic is on there
sorry
Ive only changed here for Xmas
Ah plodding! now I remember
Lol @ gin pic
i cahnge my pic on here a lot though
but i dont change my name excpet for Chrimbo
you will LOVE you first mara
but theres nothing like the feeling after
oh no
...stands by to be emotional !!
Still cant make my mind up if to do this one or locabar in fort william?
Ilive in Bletchley Milton keynes so sense would say this, But locabar sounds so nice, but will cost a lot in travel and accomodation.
Understand drinks are in cups which i hate for this race, and no lucozade stops.
ps this will be my first marathon after serving my half marathon apprentiship of 7 halfs with a pb of 1.43.
WITH MY BEST HALF TIME WHAT WOULD I EXPECT TO FINISH THIS FULL IN?
My HM pb is 1:43 too, and I did my first marathon this Oct in 3:39.
BUT, my HM pb was 5 weeks before the mara, and 5 minutes quicker than my previous HM time of 1:48, which I ran just before I started mara training, so maybe you'd be on line for a faster marathon time than me.
I heard somewhere recently as a rule of thumb, double HM time and add 10 mins...
I bet Lochaber is a faster course than Stratford too, but I don't think there's any lucozade north of the border either :-(

I too have a Half Mara PB of 1:43, and calculator say 3:37
Irn Bru? Shall we all switch to Lochaber....?
