Thanks

Did you see the 3 day training plan in the Feb 2006 RW mag ?
Cheers
On my revised plan I have put two long runs in the same week, but so have they.
Have a look at mine and see where I need to be changing.
This is where help like this from people like yourself realy helps us novice runners.
Keep up the good work.

My plan is aimed at what I consider to be the key sessions which is the long run (done at the correct pace). Long runs are 'hard sessions' although at this stage for many of you maybe don't feel too tough.
My concern about introducing a 'speed' session is that it's the easiest way to get injured. Of course the best speed session of all is a race and I do advise one race a month.
I still have a couple of emails to reply to, sorry didn't get time last night, had to take my group out running. Will send replies tonight.
Doing Rotterdam on 9th April - scarily, time is running out!
Many thanks.

...so I have a 10 mile race this month
Wokingham 1/2 in February
Gloucester 20 in March (entry envelope sitting downstairs)
Would you advise a further race between Gloucester 20 (5 March) and FLM?
Many thanks

Sian - As FLM is so late this year, lots of peeps will have the same dilemma as the 20 mile races are generally early March. You have plenty of time to do one or even two more races before FLM, obviously not too close to race date. You could do a half marathon and decide not to race at half marathon pace but run it at your planned marathon pace, will be very good practice and will require discipline to do so. I think pace for the first half of marathon is so important.
I'm doing Glos 20 too!
Shades - will send you an e-mail.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Much appreciated!

LMH - same to you! I'm doing FLM, then CPH a month later, then Skovløberen (as a training run, Sept 3rd, maybe), and then Berlin or H C Andersen, Odense September 24. They're two or three weeks before Abingdon. Are you keeping well? If people knew what a heroine you are ... :-)
I'll email you now.
Thanks in advance
Just wanted to say a big - WHOPPEEE!! Did my long run today - 14 miles at the pace recommended and felt great all the way round and full of beans at the end!
Bliimey - if I feel like this for the long runs this scoobs is going to be one very happy person!!
So - zipadeedoodah! Mara training here I come!
Hope everyone else is training well???????
Also thanks to Shades - did 12 miles at the weekend and, again, it felt good at the slower pace - felt I could have kept on going which is what we want! I'm also sticking to training on my own - did the club long run the week before (10 miles) but even though I was way at the back I did an average of 10:50 min/miling which is rather too fast for me and a long run! I've also decided just to do the 3 runs a week and see how I get on with that (can add the 4th for the next time I do a mara!!!)
They are the most important part of marathon training so should be as enjoyable as possible.
