So the date for the cardiff marathon as been announced,28th september(enter it please).I forged a plan at the end of feb,basically it was to train like hell in the hope of breaking 5 hrs at cardiff,my time last year was 5 hrs and 15 mins.My plan was this,to use the last 5 days of feb,march and april to build up a base of fitness use may to go a bit longer and then from june onwards add in some really long runs and some speedwork,its been going along nicely accept a nasty stomach bug threw the spanner in the works this week,but i have been doing about 20 miles a week since february and from tommorow i will be going a bit longer.I've also taken some inspiration from reading about jane tomlinson,hearing about paula radcliffes training and enjoying lance amstrongs autobiography.I might not have mentioned it but all of you who are free on the 28th of september,enter the cardiff marathon and give the organisers a chance,they might surprise you.talk to you soon.

When the organisers welcome slower runners, ill think about this
This year the course looks MUCH better
but--------------------I have my doubts as to the attitude towards back markers
Good luck with the training and see you in Sept.
I made the cut off, but was still forced to put up with traffic, and no marshals, and no water
yes, im STILL angry
At least there is a half this year
DO NOT DO THE MARATHON IF YOU CANT DO UNDER 5 HOURS
