I can imagine for some people the timing of it being 7am might have made it more awkward to be online than it being in the the middle of the night, but entry date and time is never going to suit everybody.
(Eta mr panad got in last week on a spit sample, so will be there supporting if not running
Ralph ~ what to say? So sorry mate. But let's be grateful that if the expert is correct in what he is saying (I'm sure he is) then we should celebrate not commiserate because he is looking out for you, your health and your family. Nothing to stop you seeking a second opinion from a cardiologist that specialises in sport. But this isn't the end. Running is running. And there's so much you can still focus on at all sorts of distances. Get the fun in there and you will be running for years to come...
Like you say i could get a second opinion but i am not sure what that would achieve? I was getting the Ectopic beats (premature ventricular contractions) whilst i was running Snod. Never had them before, or not noticed them whilst running.
I have had the Ectopics quite bad for a few years. Always at rest, and they disappeared with exercise. I was checked out for them a couple of years ago and given the all clear.
I reckon if i had not had the episode of Atrial fibrillation in Aug they would not be concerned, but they are covering their backs. Cardiologist reckons it could be a slow progression, another might disagree, as i do to a certain extent. Then if i carry on it will be my own fault? Very annoying!
Anyway enough of me, well done to everyone who got there place secured for next year!
I am managing to keep the legs turning over and have started to do some strength work which i am really enjoying. Think i need it as was getting a bit weedy!
Ralph, sorry to hear, but good they're looking after you, stay strong & find something that works for you.
In again for 2018, my 4th SNOD.

what are you all going to do tomorrow night given there’s no marathon to enter?? It’s all a bit strange...
I've found another race which also opens on 1 Jan so I'll enter that one instead. Not quite the same demand so there shouldn't be too much trauma.
Excited and ready to go!!!
I actually entered Newport Marathon (end of April) today too
Running has ground to a halt over the festive period. Managed a couple of 6 mile plods.
Just seem to be getting back to back colds... Anyone else had this?
I suppose that's why they did the saliva test and questionnaires pre and post snod. Would be good to see the results of that study. Ticker is still playing up a bit, have to wear another monitor for 6 days soon!
Need to get back to some sort of running routine!!
Happy new Year...
Think a lot of people have suffered this Christmas with illness Ralph. I've had a cough and a cold. Now I'm suffering with Acid Reflux with is causing me really bad pain at times and stopped me running for a week. Was hoping to be well under way with training for London by now but I managed a pathetic 5 miles today and felt absolutely terrible. Plenty of time though which is good..
Good luck with Newport Jason, One of my mates has signed up for the that and we're kind of training alongside each other.
Hope you're all training well. Whatever your targets may be for the first half of the year..
Same thing here. Cough and cold since 21 December now just starting to abate. Also had bad acid reflux for a time with it - got some stuff from the chemist that sorted that bit of the illness. Managed a few runs but nothing mega.
Managed to get into SNOD!!!
I think my plan of doing the SNOD/Dublin double is off - Mrs T Rex and I are going to have to return home on Sunday 28 Oct. I'm cooking up another plan. This thread will be the first to know.
I'm managing a 17-mile run commute every Friday along the canal. Very agreeable. Catching the train rather than running home as well though.
Good luck with Wrexham, JB.
Better off coming to my house. I'll get a few beers in.
Went out for a plod yesterday and tweaked my hamstring. It's not too bad but definitely a little sore walking.. Never had anything like it happen before.. Anyone any idea how long it might keep me out?
Thanks Jason.
Big miles for me TR22. Take it easy with the hammie - still early on in marathon training - you won't lose much (if anything) by resting for a bit. I've done the Rhayader 20 - one of the best events I've done - haven't had chance to go back there to do it. I know the Wrexham events organiser - seemed a no-brainer to do that marathon, given its proximity to home & starting time - hopefully home by early/mid afternoon!
Great weekly mileage, like you say a lot has changed in the past year! You were asking me for advice on maf training lol!
Keep putting those weekly totals together and you will be flying.
Watch that hamstring TR22, Give it some rest, ice, and maybe some cross training instead?
I know the elan valley area and have always fancied the Rhayader 20. Good look to you with that one, some good hills i imagine.
Indeed good luck to you all with upcoming races.
I have inskip half in a couple of weeks and signed up for a local 10k race in march. Not expecting too much and also a little bit wary of pushing too hard.
Oh yeah...... looking forward to hearing your plans trex and some great mileage your putting in Jason.
Pete Thomas (if you're lurking) - how's your winter training going??
I've done Rhayader 20 three times. The hill at about mile 6 is very good Waun Fawr training!
I've done Rhayader twice before. They've actually shortened it this year to a 30k race. So should be easier...in theory.. Yea the hill at the start is a tough one.
But it does mean I have to announce now what I'm going to be up to at this year's SNOD marathon. As promised this thread is the first to hear.
For 2018 I have set myself the challenge of doing the ...
