Great idea. Use the OscarWilde as a meeting place till say 5ish or when the assembled company agree, then move into local fare.

U-bahn station Oranienburger Tor on the U6 line is easiest as it's right next to pub, which is on Friedrichstrasse (112a). Familiarise yourself with outside appearance of pub by going to http://www.oscar-wilde-irish-pub.de Be careful not to get mixed up with Oranienburger strasse which is an S-bahn stop (with post marathon eye fatigue). That's nearby but you have to know where you're walking. But the good thing is there are lots of other pubs/bars etc in this street and nearby Oranienburger Str which you might prefer and can have a look at. If you want a more German beer experience, there's a Bavarian drinking place in Hakescher Hof (next S bahn stop, next to British Council) in the square itself.

yes recommend you move on from OW's, but glad to see there's time for the very slow (like me) to get there before you do!
RTR: Taunton - good to see some more south-westers (not far from Bridport then!)
Minimal 'training' this weekend but managed one silly short run (like fartlek, self-designed!)in the cold dark last night.. it's too late now for me, folks..
Bloody good luck to everyone for the last few days...

almost decision time - am about to print out the km and mile pacer bands from this site. Not sure whether to be aggressive, realisitic or cautious

I was in Berlin last year to watch the race, and in response to your questions about getting into a running stride quickly, they set off a pen at a time, therefore it is not all hell for leather at the start. Therefore it shouldn't be a problem. Typical German efficiency.
Up to my neck and getting deeper in work - the joys of getting everything organised before you go away.
Did 8.5 miles and 5 miles at weekend at marathon pace and felt comfortable. Did a slow session last night and resting today, eating lots and getting lazy. 5 miles planned for tomorrow and 2 easy miles at club Thursday. May stretch legs on Sat for a mile or so, if there is anywhere to run near hotel.
Dareen, cheers for putting all the info together, really useful.
David M, sounds like you're finishing off the training on a great note, will try and send mobile no. again.
Carpet, I hope you are feeling much better and the stomach has settled down now. Try some Dioralyte to calm it down if it's still feeling a bit dodgey, usually works for me and keeps the correct balance of "thingemy jiggs" (can't think of technical term) in your tummy. My hamstring is also niggly, but has been on and off for 9 months.
Glad everyone is waiting at Oscar Wilde's til 5pm, gives me time to get myself sorted out and get there.
Laura, not heard of needing a med. cert before, you've got me thinking now, but never heard mention of it.
Welcome Slowbloke, hope to see you at the pub.
Off to do some more stretching and bending. All the best for these last few days everyone ....
