Hi fatface
Did u find out how 2 switch off your garmin 405
I have not used mine much as i think i prefere the 305 u?
happy new year training partner
I've not really looked BBB. I think I'll just put it on charge after each time I've used it. I'll see how the battery life is on the longer runs. I think I do prefer the 305 though. Fortunately, my 305 had a problem with it and as I knew I was getting a 405, I took the 305 back and it was still under warrenty so I got a refund!!!!!
Johnny B - what did you do to deserve having to go to the Dawn and Raven Mills. My mum used work at the Dawn - it's now a big Asda - funny the people you meet in Oldham int it - I used to know a certain chap that went to college there as well
I got a garmin 405 for Christmas as well FF - never having had one before I keep pressing all the wrong buttons hehehehehe - I'll get the hang of it one day
I used to work for GUS mail order. Ooh a 405 - Santa has been nice, innit?
I'm off for a 7 miler today - hoping to come in at just under 60 minutes, which will tell me I am still on for a pb at Wokers in 5 weeks. Allegedly.
Santa has been very kind to me yes
Makes a change that though - hehehehe
Where are you based then if you had to go to Shaw and Chadderton on your travels ?? I used to work for Littlewoods in a rival Shaw mill - hehehehee
I'm doing the Tadworth 10 on Sunday so will try out my new toy then
I don't work for them any more - they were eaten up by LW about 6 or 7 years ago I think.
I did 60 44 for me 7 miles - not what i wanted but I'll take the draw as Alex ferguson never said. Absolutely pooped now.
Wah Hay. I've got me ugly mush in the latest RW magazine!!!!
So, the schedule starts tomorrow. I'm just about to download the full 16 week schedule onto my Garmin.
Excited? Moi? Erm, yes,
Well done on the time JB. That's pretty good going that it.
How did you do GE?
my RW was delivered with a big sticker on it saying "Warning: May Contain Offensive Material"
but I opened it up nevertheless and there you were
best of luck mate . . looking forward to following your progress . . from my armchair, of course
FF, just wanted to say before the kick off - good luck & best wishes on this great opportunity.
Not having done a full marathon before (maybe in 2010) I am looking forward to reading yours posts regarding the physical, mental & (esp) the nutrition sides of training.
Good luck again...
(I may see finish as I may be helping out in the finishing area this year - finding out soon)
Ta very much everyone. I'm just having a few Garmin hassles now. I've downloaded the sub 4 schedule to my 405 but not all of it is there. I shall have to ask a few questions in the gear section of the forums methinks.
Mr K - I promise my posts will be the "warts an' all" version.
Flippin eck - just sin your pic in RW - I've come over all peculiar
Did Tadworth this morning and thought at one point that I was going to die
finished in 1hour 28 which isn't bad considering that about half the race is uphill. Done it 3 times and not my slowest but not my quickest so quite pleased but a bit stiff now - should I now be entering Kingston then FF just to show willing eh ?
Just seen this
RFLOL
Looks like I'll be slipping and sliding around the first run on my schedule. It's a bit chilly out there.
BBBBBRRRRRRRRRR.
get out there and run ya wuss, thought you were a tuff northerner
All northerners are tuff tha knows Rich
Happy running this week one and all
have you ran yet??
Afternoon Peeps. Yep. I have runned.
So:-
Week 1 Day 1.
The schedule called for 3 miles slow so that's what I set out to do. I love running in the snow and it had settled on the ground and more was falling. TBH, I wish the schedule had said 15 miles slow coz that's how great it felt. I ran to work, as I've got a late finish tonight and I don't think I'll feel like running after a busy day. The run was fab, I ran very very easily and the only thing I did wrong was run too fast. 3 miles in 30 minutes was the plan, but 3 miles in 26:29 was the result.
So I shall await MC (Marathon Coach) Steve's arrival on the thread who shall doubtless chew my ass off for running too fast
.
And now I'm eating me dinner.
See ya
I expect you just couldn't wait to get to work, that's why you were too quick
Green Eyes . . I know . . I'm a northerner too
FF - In a few weeks when the mileage gets hight you may well be doing 3 miles in 30mins. Good start and a good idea to do it this morning. Boy is it going to get icy tonight. Gritter lorry came down our road 2 hours ago.
Hello Rich.
I forget to mention earlier that I achieved my goal of being the same weight at the start of the schedule as I was before Christmas. That wasn't very difficult as I didn't put any weight on over Christmas.
You should have seen tonight culinery delight JB. Pure parp fodder.
Off to bed.
Nighty night.
Well - no chewing of any bits on first day. It's fine running that quickly if you now go on to run inside three rather than 4 hours
Seriously As long as you felt strong and feel good tomorrow then don't see it as a problem and you probably won't want to run that fast when you are deep into marathon training.. More by accident I ran 3 miles this morning but it took me 29 minutes. Think more chance you'll run 2:43 this year than me.
