Help ease my marathon confusion??

[Deleted User] · August 2002

Yes! I took myself up to Regents Park and ran a full 6 miles in and around the park.I wasn't the only one who thought the park would be a good place to run in last night - it was mobbed with runners! Anyway - pleased I went- really enjoyed it though pushed myself too far in the last 2 miles and groin strain is back!

Any advice on the split of a marathon ? In my only one to date ( Robin Hood) I ran the first half in 2.05 (easy) and then fell apart for 2.37 in the second. Yet running guides suggest aiming for a negative split??

regent's park on a tuesday evening at 7pm is where the niketown run goes - and if you run clockwise, you end up sidestepping about a hundred runners going in the opposit eidrection.

has happened to me loads of times

CHEEKY - i'm hoping that you did a fast time for the mara given your tons of long run training....

[Deleted User] · August 2002

so that explains it! Thanks Fat Turkey!

[Deleted User] · August 2002

see you on sunday, then

interestingly, NR, regents park is my regular trainnig ground pre-marathon - you never know we might meet up one rainy lunchtime in february.

also the 396 metre track on the north side (stupid distance!!) is good for speed session training.

and what's more, if you're really lucky you can see the runners world editorial team going out for a run in RP on certain lunchtimes, as they work just round the corner from me in chandos street!!

wow - really ineresting eh?

also see too much detail just posted by me on the BB 1/2 thread

[Deleted User] · August 2002

Going to give Regents Park a go this lunchtime. Only work around the corner, and haven't had the will power to try a lunchtime run there yet.

Anyone got any good routes?

[Deleted User] · August 2002

just go round the outside - it's about 2.5 miles

how quick are you? 10K? and where do you work

[Deleted User] · August 2002

FT my 10k time is around 50 - 51mins.
I work on the Camden Town side of Regents Park.

[Deleted User] · August 2002

i think there's a chance we might run into each other one lunchtime.

my 10k is currently about 50mins

am based near oxford street....

once it gets to january i'm a regular fixture running round the outside of RP until marathon day!!

you doing the FLM this year?

[Deleted User] · August 2002

FT, I'm hoping to do London again if I'm successful through the balot.

Come January if you fancy a running partner at lunchtime let me know.

you're on - see you on sunday

[Deleted User] · August 2002

PS WwR is also FT

[Deleted User] · August 2002

Thing is I wouldn't recognise either of you if I saw you! Cant make out what you look like from the pictures! As for running Regents Park, the outside gets a bit dull - but inside so much going on that you dont notice the miles...see you there soon!

[Deleted User] · August 2002

New Runner, I don't usualy run with a Clanger holding me up..

See you both on Sunday!

[Deleted User] · August 2002

Do any of you know you're numbers yet for Sunday.

I thought you'd pulled something the other day NR

[Deleted User] · August 2002

I'll post my number here tomorrow. I think it's 521, but I'm not sure. Will be in the URWFRC Vest though!

[Deleted User] · August 2002

Have an on-going issue with the "adductor" muscle (much more feminine way of putting groin strain) so will be running...but slow! I'll post number tomorrow as well

[Deleted User] · August 2002

NR Hopefully you're resting up till Sunday

We'll congregate around you then Jason in your vest. You should be the easy to recognise. Is the clanger running as well

[Deleted User] · August 2002

The Clanger may run, but tends to compalin that his feet are tired after about 5 mins.

Don't really fancy carrying him all the way round... ;-)

[Deleted User] · August 2002

yeah, great

checked my number last night and it's 198.

the thing is. that we all swap numbers and then no-one has a bloody clue what they were when you actually turn up at the start, cos we just said "yeah, great" when they were posted......

been there seen the movie

at least this time we have a team vest, a clanger and a knee support to look for !!!

[Deleted User] · August 2002

wait a minute folks - this is becoming a BB thread....

get it on the right forum - "EVENTS"

just had a nice italian meal followed by two pints of kronenburg at the "O'connor don" pub ....that's what i call last minute training

[Deleted User] · August 2002

haven't got a clue how to put up picture.... plus haven't got a good one either from my modelling portfolio

[Deleted User] · August 2002

Fat Turkey not to your taste then.

Click on My Page top left of screen, click on change face, browse to your file and select it. Click on upload and then wait..

Two blue knees by the way. I think I'm unique hence easy to avoid ;-)

[Deleted User] · August 2002

Fat Turkey, Well! It goes something like this....I was aiming for a 3.30 marathon, got to 13 miles, RW pacers behind me, then in front of me, heart rate too high, slowed it down, made 3.42 but enjoyed the whole race..WHAT A CRACKING RUN! Next year will be the 3.30!..If you can't hit your target time, then enjoy, that's my view!

Howdy, Stranger!
