Dream on mr Hindes!! Enjoyed kicking your by 10 mins at Wolverhampton way to much!!!! get that entry in or it will cost u a extra fiver on the day! U ain't getting out of this one boyo!!
Looks like I will be doing this one.......this was the last marathon I ran in 2007 and then out for the next 2 years with stress fractures.....funny that!
Yeah hopefully use the slingshot effect of Cornwall to sort out the training for a good Autumn marathon and tend to run well at Taunton. Have always fancied Berlin marathon, an interesting city and a fast fast marathon.
Just back from last 10 miler around the foothills of Tiverton, farms with alpachas everywhere. A few more easy runs next week and then Pensilva here we come. Hope the weather is something like today - ideal.
Have you come across this 'thing' - technically speaking - where you run and eyes-out fast mile run on the Thursday, which supposedly really boosts your carbo load? Thinking of going it a go - Am I sounding desperate yet!
Iain, you could break 3.40 if you swam to bideford from braunton biked tp pensilva then run it ya muppet!! here we go.........wating for the excuses to come.........
Ouch, Berlin is fast but I still think amsterdam is better, flat dont really suit me to be honestso must get on the bike to strenghten the quads for the constant flat, did berlin in 2003 so I know what to expect.
Not heard to the fast mile thing, but I do know carb depletion sun-wed then carb load works, its hard and you feel like crap it can also pick up a cold as you deplete. dont do it anymore, I just eat really healthy now till friday then sat carboload a bit, not much tho, seem to run better not feeling to bloated by carbs! I use gels and have a good breakfast so that seems to be working of late, 2.56 at wolves 3.02 at eden and a 2.56 the week after at D Vale then a 1.20.00 at stroud half the wk after that seems to work!! but does show to me I should be running faster than 2.56, thats why I eneterd berlin! only just recovered from it tho!!
Iain, Dont forget that Ironman Kona medal......I wanna see it!! Ill text you later in wk about lift etc.
Keep reminding my about the medal Muzza, I've got a head like a sieve............ Going to be taking some video as I go round for any t'internet geeks that are interested . Might get an in car chat with a regular sub 3hr boy on the way down because you might not be talking to me on the way back
Marathon haircut sorted...nothing to do with the video Iain honest - but if yiou can catch the left side. Is it time yet to start to worry about the weather?
OuchOuch - I really hope that haircut hasn't been brought on by the promise of a video, there's no Channel 4 documentary, just an idiot with an ipod nano.
They're VERY rough and ready, there's very little editing and they normally bounce around so much you get seasick. If I do run/walk which is highly likely there also tends to be far too many nostril shots..
Iain - you've got a niche there, that looks good, more than I can say for my new haircut, my hairdresser clearly misunderstood the word 'trim' to 'I want to look like a nutter'.
After raising the issue of the weather, a biblical flood of the area within 24 hours - I must be a god. BBC says a bit parky at max 6C min 1C and sunny - so not bad at all.
Last run this evening, 2 miles slow, 1 mile fast....so thats it now...time for the decaff coffee/ tea...Time for some more bread...munch munch munch.
Your just jealous Muzza, another mile he would have won it! I now have visions of Iain continually running past by and stopping as I try and avoid my own run/ walk strategy.
Having not run a marathon for 3 years and only one race in that time, the noise of a few desultory handclaps and the piounding of feet makes it all a bit real now....Temp watch 7C predicted for Sunday clear and crystal clear visibiliy.
