And I thought the world would always need accountants....
Sorry to be a pain!
Recovered from FLM now, so really looking forward to this one. Not even going to wear a watch on the day. Just going to enjoy it.
Wore my Garmin 201 at London. Spent most of the time looking with pride at my virtual partner. Cant remember seeing many land marks!
Doing Great Welsh run on Monday; can't wait for that either!
I love running............
The world will always need tallbirds
no answer to that is there?
I was answering tb !!
pleased that the thread has reverted to helping/ welcoming us slow folk
(though inspired you you under 3:30 folk), lets hear it for the plod hippo
still think the listing should be in predicted time order
how about a running group of 4hr/4:15 of wrexham rob, tailbird seaweed, OB any other joiners?
got my chester 1/2 number (206) this week , - if i can get oranised for tywyn 1/2 this sunday , that'll be 3 races as training ..
cheers
off to Buckley runers for a 7miles tonight
Well done on the mileage. Keep building!
I keep thinking about the South Cheshire 20, but can't get Sundays off too often. If you can crack 20, you will make the 26 no probs. At blackpool last year I had only managed 19 before it, but still finished the race.
If I get to the 20 I will say hi.
natnif - oops, sorry about that
Id love to be with you all but torn calf muscle refuses to get with the programme and is chewing up loads of dosh at the physios.He who must be obeyed reckons September will be looking good for running with 2 legs.So I will have to make with some heavy R & R pity i had my 1/2 down to 1.35 still all that training to look forward to?
Just that I think I should try them out before the big day on my long prep runs (when I get round to them). 1st marathon is scary enough, now really scared after reading John H's links on hydration (VERY informative though - ta John). What can I take to prevent hypochondria?
Afer me experiences in London this time - having prepared so diligently, so thoroughly, so ultimately profesionally, what I learned is this... you can go too far!
If you've run 20 or so miles in training - replicate pretty much what you did as preparation for those runs and you wont go far wrong.. that was how I approached my first marathon (3hrs 22min) - a rather hit an miss trg schedule, boozing excessivley, no pre-rce routine... I just lined up on the day and went for it...
Please don't be overawed by the marathon and all the technical ins and outs... approach it no different to you long runs and i am sure you will be absolutely fine.
OMG!!!!!!!
Biffa-dont worry---as john says if youve done the training theres no need to worry
(hippo panics)
which supermarkets, if any, do high 5 drinks?
Was thinking about the High 5 drinks - looking on their website, the only ready made drink they have (in bottles) is 'energy kick' which isn't recommended for races - so I guess it's not going to be that.
Will it be mixed from powder and in cups then I was wondering?
I currently use PSP22, so either I need to change and give High 5 a go, or I need to do what I usually do and carry my energy drink in my Flashflo and just get water from the drink's stations.
hmm.
thinking about energy drinks, and I'm still on the injury bench! S'pose I've got to do something to take my mind off it.....
Actually have half a mind to drop out all together and save energies for Berlin in September...........am I being wise or is it just the snot monster, who has taken up residence in me, talking????
