Evening, I saw some photos earlier on facebook from some friends who are in Paris for the race, really getting excited now.
RR that made me laugh about your date, I remember going to a friend's house for a meal the week before a marathon and his wife was absolutely full of cold, I couldn't believe it. Luckily - well she is a nurse so I guess she practised good hand hygeine - we didn't catch anything but I couldn't believe she hadn't rung to cancel.
cracking club run tonight, a jog to the river then two fast miles, then back via the other bank and a good hill at the end. looks like my garmin got a bit confused though, it's given me a mile at 6:27 pace, plus a third of a mile at 3:58 pace, yeah right! Whatever, a great run at this stage of the campaign, following the principle of replacing volume with intensity.
Nice running Puffsta Hope you had some good tick after!!
Soups, thank you for a thoroughly entertaining and irreverent thread over the last 16 weeks. Both interesting and informative . I have learnt so much about training, diet (Puffsta) and running kit (souper socks and underwear on the outside). You will be talking about this weekend for years to come. Best of luck and run like the wind.
Good luck to everyone running over the next few weekends. I have had a colourful training block and have decided on the old goal A&B&C approach.
I shall be following the forum on the weekend like a hawk.
x post Tim, timetable looks good. It is pretty nailed on all that remains is to enjoy it
lol - I'm with Slowkoala on the race strategy Tim!
Love your timetable. I didn't think champagne gave you a hangover though - you won't need the neurofen!
Tim it was Chilli, I ate the bit that Mrs P had reserved for my post run lunch on saturday too I'm afraid. Plus a couple of post training pre taper beers and a glass of red.
Hans C - I hope you're writing all this down
lol - Mr P, you should write a book!
Super are you kidding? Ironically [in my view] it was me who was unfollowed, blocked, andunfriended on a variety of platforms by the time I got home.
SK - yep the tonsils have been checked more than once.
I'm actually watching the 2013 VLM before work here, having a rare rest day [i.e. total rest apart from physios] as have a parkrun tomorrow and the crucial 10 mile pace-determining progression run on Sunday.
Will be watching you guys on tele of course!
If anyone has the time, inclination, and aptitude, I'd love a summary of the Paris race numbers to follow on the day!
And it is the approach to bugs a week before a race that is the chasm that divides runners from non-runners. 9 days to go and Mrs Hans and Mini-me both have colds. They seem to think a boiler suit and gas mask is OTT. Imagine that?
Malcs: the Puffsta food bible: eat anything Soups can't! Tick!
Out of respect to our superhero I am just about to have lightly grilled camembert on rye bread with a small dollop of jam. Tonight French red is on the table. I know, big of me! Parkrun tomorrow will be awesome.
Have an awesome weekend Superman! You have had such an amazing journey - both ups and downs and I really hope that your marathon is all that you could hope for.
Enjoy every last second and then tell us all about it!
Bon Chance!
Loving the timetable Superman, especially the after marathon plan!
Having goolged that, it could well be! it's about the right part of the foot, maybe I irritated it... my bloody feet, I have bad plantar and lateral plantar on my right foot, all I need is my left foot to join the pain party...
Anyway, seems I'm OK now, did a progressive 5 miles last night with no adverse effects
21162. yikes
Sorry to take the subject away from running!!! But COME ON OXFORD!!!
Big race start in Paris tomorrow.A lot of training,dedicated miles on the road.He has tackled it before and come close.His super efforts have pleased us all. Go Bradley Wiggins in you last ride for sky at Paris Roubaix.
To our Superman best of luck and to all racing tomorrow.
Now is the time to reap the rewards of all the effort and hard work.
Enjoy your day and smash that time!
Bon chance.
BK
Enjoy it Super!
Tim - as Malcs says, don't be shit!
What a journey you've had but tomorrow is not the end, just a milestone. Admittedly, quite an important milestone though..
. I really it all goes to plan for you, and you and your team (Sam, Ruth etc) are celebrating tomorrow night.
We'll all be thinking of you. Run strong. xxx
Will try and check in and see how you've got on, managed a couple of runs over here in Tenerife, firstly a v tough 4 miler outdoors, heat was hard, hills were ridiculous. Resorted to treadmill in gym for a reasonable 13 miles at more or less MP. Was chuffed as I really don't get on with the treadmill normally.
All the best to anyone else running Paris or Brighton tomorrow
GOOD LUCK IN PARIS AND BRIGHTON TODAY!!!!
Hear hear! Just watching on Eurosport, can't see our hero yet.
Bit disappointing that eurosport cut the coverage straight after the elite finishers! I've only been able to track Karen Murdoch so far as well. She's on target for sub 3.30.
There's a picture of Tim on twitter going through 9k and looking very relaxed. He's going to crush this race!
He's through halfway in 1.43.06 - yay. Keep going, Tim.
Great run Soups! Massive congratulations, never in doubt. Looking forward to the report!
Yay Soups and Sense!
