I'm sulking today cos my FLM cheque hasn't been cashed :-(
Done my first one in Dublin, so I guess my next objective should be to go sub-4.
I'm with ya!
Cheers.
Congrats on your time. It was a bad day for it out there today.
Well done M. on PB especially with the weather.
Target for my week is 55 miles
Good luck peeps with training!

i never did more than 40 miles a week in training (and only then, in the feb mar training period) - when i cracked the BIG 4.
I RECKON YOU ARE A SUB 3.30 RUNNER COME TO TAUNT US!!
This will be my first marathon I will be lucky too get sub 4!!!

i dunno how you can do that kind of mileage and not get quick, Welsh?
if you're doing 50 miles now, you will be shedding a ton of weight and getting some great muscle strength and stamina. provided you mix in some speed work twice a week you will be flying round in april.
make sure you don't get bored with the big miles, my friend and good luck.
done any races so far?
now i REALLY don't believe your protestations
:-)
I dont have a coach to myself just a shared one at club saying that not been there for ages!!
I was doing 50 miles before my 1/2 marathon so just back where I was before will take advice about speed work I love speed work:-(
yes done 4@5k,3@10k and 1 half marathon so far.
How are you doing? and what sort of times do you do for your races?

probably a bit of an imposter for being here, too.
this year i did the FLM in 4.55 after no training and had 1.5 pints of guinness on the way round!!!
was actually injured and am only now coming back from 9 months off (excl FLM pub crawl). am running about 12 miles a week at 9+ m/miles
only 24 months ago you would have found me running 45 min/10K; 1.46/half and 3.58/full. but carrying a handicap of +20 lbs makes those times feel a bit unrealistic this year.
we'll see
Back to join the sub-4 thread after my 4 hours 1 minute watch time at Dublin. I took your recommendation about the guinness Wolf with Runs, 3 pints post race aided recovery no end!
Am toying with the idea of doing FLM in fancy dress for a bit of fun ....
I'm sure there'll be an opportunity in London .... :-)
great atmosphere amongst the 5 hour runners. not to stressful, took photos, took time to look around, didn't wear a watch, no stress on time.....loverly
they have fixed it so that 8m/m is 10m/m on the read out
You have 6 months to shift the 20LB's you can do it if you want it badly enough, thats a target of 2lb a week and think how fantastic your running will become!!
Good luck with your quest and happy training.

Final confirmation with a in/out magazine will be with us in early December (postal strikes allowing!).
Llama Man - I've got Paris down as my back up. It's on 4 April, you can enter online so no hanging around, and there's quite a crowd on this forum already going (see the thread in the Events section).
Back running again, did a ten mile run last Friday in Norfolk (weather was not nice but the scenery was fantastic).
So far this week I have managed two six milers and yesterday 15.2 miles in 2:09:27. No major reaction from my foot thankfully. I hope to do another six miles later today and tomorrow this will give me a new PB in miles per week terms of 39 miles.
Keep up the good work, this thread does give me the motivation to keep improving and I’m sure we will all get round in sub 4.
Don't think i'm being pessimistic as all members who entered last year found out in the same week.
But the backup plan now looks like being Rotterdam on April 4th.
