Around 4500 it looks like with quite a fair few DNF too.
Cheers HeOw !! Ordered the Bible. Last time never did any 20 milers just one 16 miler thats it. Stupid mistake ! still managed to get home in 3.27 thou. Thats why i'm not messing about want to see if i can beat that time, going to get to 60 + miles a week at the peak of training (hopefully) last time it was 30 to 35 a week. 10 miles yesterday 5 today, hill reps tomorrow,up to 40 miles this week 10% increase a week hopefully injury free.
Ashman - that is awesome with that sort of training - hate to think what you will do with P&D training
Got Luton marathon on 18th Nov then a couple of weeks rest then back into training just before Christmas so when the usual 16 week training starts 1st week January I am up to speed and can do most of it at greater intensity and get more longer runs in.
Any of you guys an girls done the Village Bakery in Wrexham ? if your after a pb this is the one to do, its as flat as a pancake and a super fast course. Its on mid Feb sometime so a great warm up for Manchester !
Not done it. Living in Kent I do The Lydd 1/2 in first week in March that is pancake flat as well
Re Wrexham, not done it but fast course. Great one to do pre Manny.
No HeOw not joking one 16 miler the rest just a few 13's. Thats why i'm starting early get back in shape 25 weeks should be more than enough.
Ps checked weather given perfect running conditions
That is actually quite sickening. Sub 3 for you with proper training...
Heow- dont you dare back down, your all in now mwa ha ha ha ha.
Oh erm how'd I get here, I wasn't goin to do another one of these
We have skis Dave, Cheshire High Society I am.
Andy, you are doing it cos you have a point to prove to yourself. Plus cos you love the threads!
Right; plan is sub 2:30 for me, but will be happy with a 2:31. Beggars can't be choosers when you are running into Old Trafford, I might just trip over Wayne Rooney's new hair.
I did say Wayne Rooney "wanking" but deleted it as didn't want RW to get sued for libel.
Weather update - 11mph southwesterly, 11C rising to 13C, overcast with a short shower expected at 11.29. Sounds pretty good to me!!!
Will be sure to keep a look out for Rooney's shed barnet - thx for the heads up...............
Cooks, can you laminate that so we know it is 100%...?
HeOw - don't worry about Chester forum we will keep you well loved here (in the non biblical way)
Is that your finish time Andy?
HeOw - sure leave it with me, they have a laminator at my local Parkrun!
Andy the Deestrider i'll never be as fast as you matey doing 100 miles a week, is that you who did Helsby in 1.18 last year? was looking for my mates time and spotted you if it is. Getting my garmin back next week it broke, £51 to fix it, lost without it.
No heow i thought the rain was due at 10:47am or was it 10:46am, not sure meself now
