Thanks for the advice & info you've all posted here. Blackpool will be my first marathon, having finally run out of excuses not to do one. I've managed 2 hours for a 1/2M, so I guess I should be happy with sub 4:30. Actually, I'd be ecstatic just to finish!
Chrisss - no support for me either, so I know how you feel, but good luck with the 1/2M. I've got Leeds lined up. My objective is just to finish uninjured, never mind the time.

Sorry, no showers post race. Can't find anywhere big enough to shower 3000 people. You can change in the expo though after collecting your kit from the Kit Storage Area. All details in race programme that is being sent out shortly.
For hotels goto www.blackpoolhotels.com for all the deals.
Pasta Party tickets are £5p/p
TC Folks...
deal includes dinner on the saturday and
I understand that tickets for the pp are
limited. BUT - can I come along after, eat
no pata and say hello to one and all ? ?
Just ran the marathon last night (in my dreams).
It was dead easy....I did the last 6 miles twice and called in 2 pubs on the way round
Woke up knackered!
Sarahmoo (sarahmassey)
(....probably compensating in my dreams as I have a horrendous cold and haven't been able to run this week...its a nightmare! My ironing is up to date but my training is suffering!)
My leg is broken I think.......well, OK, maybe not broken, but definately bu**ered. Serves me right I suppose, have been feeling the pain for a couple of weeks and tried to run through it - guess today was the day when my body finally rebelled.
Might have to take a week off now.
Hate that. Feels like the training programme is slipping away............
Did 16 very hilly miles first thing this morning which being on the back of a late night with lots of food and vino was a bit testing to say the least!
your body is telling you to rest
you'll be fine in the long run
Take it easy x
(sarahmassey)
Things won't slip away, the rest should let you come back a week later, stronger than before.
I saw a couple of people in serious trouble but still trying to finish the race (although I'm not sure being carried by 2 other people really counts!) and I assumed it was the heat that got them.
I know what you say is right (and you Sarah), but it is so hard to give it a rest isn't it? I just feels like all the hard work so far is vanishing, even when you know, realistically, that it isn't.
Haven't been injured before.
It isn't nice.
I think I will book a Physio appointment tomorrow - right now I am having all sorts of trouble just walking.
*grumble*
Hope everyone elses training went nicely today
I've not run since weds with this stinking cold....sinuses are up the creek. I am being forced to rest and HATING it but I can't resume training too soon as I know it will screw me up.
At least you had the common sense to stop at Bracknell tallbird...wise move
On another note, its scary to think how hot it might be at Blackpool eh!
I found Bracknell a lot harder than a half should be at this stage, too many long slow hills and underpaths. (2:05)
