EP sounds like you had a good session. You are bound to be feeling a little tired after two fairly hard sessions. I am resting today as I have this 10 mile race tomorrow, so will be an early start.
Yes, we get plenty of questions about the weather, but not 30 in one day, from one person. We've had a fair few running questions which have been interesting... normally along the lines of should i go for a run tonight or go for a drink!
Normally you'd have to text 63336 to get the answer!
But we often say go that rest and relaxation is as important as running - you can always get up in the morning and wipe out that hangover.
But I do have a question - does anyone have a good tried and tested sub 5hr training schedule that they could send to me? I note earlier there may have been some flying around.
Just back from a very hard and hilly 10 mile race and managed a PW and finished in 1hr 53 mins and not sure of the seconds as I forgot to stop my watch. Some of the last mile was off-road and fairly muddy which is not what you want when you are tired at the end of a race!!, nearly fell flat on my face a couple of times as I had road shoes on with no grip )
EP ouch, not a good idea to over do it, maybe a lighter session tomorrow?
hippo, you must walk very quickly to get 5.25 with walking in the last 8 miles, it is brillant. I doubt I could run 18 miles without walking at the moment, had to walk myself yesterday as I found the hills too tough, must get some serious training in before my next race as I don't want to walk in that one ((
Was Stevenage a good marathon to do? what was the course and support like?
Big hugs TT. Agreed about the run to celebrate her life.
Well done Benz!!!! Well done Jane !!!!
Well I'm going to try and go for a run this afternoon. Just 3 miles and probably on the tready so I keep the cold and damp out of my poor lungs. I'm just going to keep the old legs turning over this week til I am fully recovered.

I am going to try another 3 miles tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed ;-)
(far easier than plodding with your legs crossed)

Imelda good luck with the 3 miler tomorrow.
this is going to be a tallorder
Hippo behave ... positive thoughts xx
finish time 5.25.45
it was bloody hard
NO WALKING and FINISH are the words to focus on

But only run every 10 years
no support
cycle tracks and underpasses
cant quite believe it myself
at the bginning of the year id only ever run 12 miles
Not feeling too great today - my grandma died in the early hours. She was 82 and had a good life but I still feel v.sad.
Just realistic, and respectful of the task ahead
Well done Benz!!!!
Well done Jane !!!!

Agree with Hippo a sub 5 hour marathon is a big task and a good bit of hard training but achievable.
