PH.. I have been following (loosely) your quest for a zillion marathons this year on your 'year out'..
Just curious..
With all the extra training and racing have you noticed any significant changes in you? Just wondered whether any of the following would apply to you:
- you've lost weight?
- can run faster, for longer?
- PB time is dropping?
- getting to 20+ miles is almost effortless?
- you are becoming addicted to running (or the opposite, you do so much that it is losing its appeal?)?
- you have repeated injuries
Any thoughts on your experiences so far??
ta!

Hippo deserves her own thres she is an inspiration to us all.
OH
thats SO funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
er
still 3 stone overweight
not really much faster(first mara on 8 miles training , 5.58, justposted a 5.41 last sunday-pb is still only 5.15)
20 miles is a nightmare-i never do it in training(i have to race to persualde myself to go that llong, and ive only once ever run 20 miles without a walk break)
Every training run is a struggle and i have to force myself out of the door, so no, not addicted!
Inspirational??
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
you are missing the point for this year
but i havent explained myself on this thread, though i have done elsewhere
you see, I used to work lots of weekends
i curently dont
So am getting the maras in while i can
I accept there may be no pbs-thats fine
For now!
the other thing ive done since leaving work is run every day-even if its only a mile
Sort of made a promise you see
i had a really really crap run, got caught out by the first warm day of the year
this year i wasted 30 mins in loo qs-i wouldnt have pbed otherwise
wwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail
marathons are evil unpredictable beasties
so is my tummy!
Bugger the PBs go for it and enjoy!!
Your name cropped up at our BBQ this weekend. Another friend had been reading various posts of yours and was waxing lyrical about how fab you are:-)
you wanna meet some of those 100 mara club memebers
seroius fruit loops!
and as for ultra runners---------
How many mara's have you done and have left to do..?
ive done-----er----- 4 ultras,7 maras,7 halves ans a couple of 10ks and a 10 miler
and i suppose ill have to get back to work in january
not sorted anything yet
living proof you can do all of this and not get any fitter, or thinner!!!!!!
Since leaving work ive just about managed 40mpw
)
Well done..
More than you can know Benz
I walk
LOADS
I almost always have terrible runs(pun intended)
I havent improved really-and yes, i do know why, before anyone says training, weight, booze, too much racing in no particular order
thankyou anyway
Get out of it......
Yer at least 4......MWAH!!
One can never have too much booze (unless you are driving)
;o)
I just meant 3 stone to , well, you know, be in a nice normal weight range
Thanks, Beans.
