oh and for anyone bitten by the trail running bug can I recommend this race series:
http://www.endurancelife.com/event.asp?series=29
it is a bit pricey but they are fantastic events and really get you out in the wilds! I'm heading off to Dorset in two weeks if the legs recover in time!
Oh, I've been looking at these. Very tempted
Good lucky Birdypie
Definitely worth a go - and you have the choice of 10k/half or full. I did a couple of halves and a couple of fulls last year....really good fun for the most part but we were extremely lucky with the weather! For those of you who really want a challenge the Exmoor race is truly vicious. I had a total sense of humour failure at about mile17 as we were sent back up yet another hill....but it hasn't stopped me signing up for it again next year...
...I never learn do I?!
Pphil and FB - what's your caffeine gel tip? I missed it,
I've done it a few times in long events and for me it seems to work well....can't say that others will get the same but Phil clearly did
I use flat coke in races if i can get personal drinks put out
Ah, cheers for that. I normally live a decaf lifestyle as it wierds me out a bit. Effects of a big dose at 20 miles would be interesting!
Yes, must admit my energy levels felt good anyway but it was reassuring to know the boost was there if I needed it. (Or maybe it was the 2 pints of Harvey's with the karaoke in the Pilot on Friday evening?
)
Will definitely employ the same tactic for future marathons - i.e. normal SIS Go Gels @ 5, 10, 15 + SIS SMART @ 20.
this doesnt clash with Snowdon nextyear
Reeeeallly?
oh no! My friend wants to do Snowdon and I want to do Beachy. I can feel some horrendous madness approaching.
erm
i think october is a 5 weekend month next year isnt it
what difference does it make?
ah, just checked. So it's not a triple opportunity - they're actually a week apart?
well, I cant think of a marathon this weekend lurks
one at the beginning of half term and one at the end
Meldy - I actually wanted them on the same weekend, like in the old days.
Lost what?
*looks around wildly*
