then just get those miles under the belt
- if OB and a few others are capable of 4;10 ish- then it looks like we could have a group
-sounds as if i'm in for this , must get application in
-if there are a few of us aiming for 4hr to 4 15 that would be great, aiming for 9 min miles
-last year before the Lake Vynrwy i chatted with folks here, and met up with adrian wilmot @ the start by chance- and we both aimed for 4 15 or whatever- he had a bad mile or 2 around 18, my worst was 22 onwards- but we kept each other going, i finished in 4;27 but know if i jog instead of jog /walk from 23 i can get a pb of under 4:20
-who's up for a 4hr to 4:20 ish
in Lake Vyrnwy there were 180 runners !
-how many do the full in blackpool??
cheers
rob
25 miles this week
5,8,7.5,5
must get on with that plan
Quite disapointed in myself, though maybe been ill & unable to train to any great degre the prior 6 weeks had something to do with it. I had completely recovered, but I guess the lack of training was just too much for my poor legs.
do lots of hamstring stretches
see a good physio
Did the blackpool half last weekend in 1hr 36mins would like to finish in 3hr 30mins dont know how realistic that is.
Did the half last year so know some of the course and can remember the hard slog to Little Bispham.
If anyone has any training advice i,m all ears i only do 2, 1 hour training runs in the week and one long run at weekends between 10-13 miles surpose i,m going to have to increase that the wife and kids will love that !!!!!!
Stevi - I may have the same family problems as you. Mrs M seems reasonably keen on supporting this crazy dream of mine, but she hasn't seen the training schedule yet. If you solve the family problem, let me know!
Stevi - I can remember that hard slog to Bispham. Never ending. Hope they change it this year. That was a particularly lonely stretch in the half last year.
Did this a few years ago ,great course bit windy. did my pb.
Running Rome in a weeks time then FLM

I see you want a sub 50 for 10K, are you doing crewe in three weeks?
Simon, I've been doing the 3:45 schedule but think I'm going to change to the 3:30 as my times are quicker than what they should be for 3:45.
Had a good week this week. Slow start as I missed a 4 mile on monday but made it up over two runs. Did 5,6,6,8, the 8 killed me this morning and won't be having them pints on saturday night anymore.
good luck for liverpool.
I started last week but think training is going to be up and down this week as I've got to go to jersey for a few days and get back friday. Only just heard about liverpool on sunday and to be honest half tempted to do it although think I would find it hard.
Good luck with the training this week, let me know how you get on.
Any advice, other than to get my head checked?! Also, will everyone have gone home by the time I finish?
Even though I am still aching from the Reading 1/2 yesterday, and currently can't imagine running twice as far - I'm sure it will be fine.
Chrisssss, you will be fine - get yourself a training programme and stick to it. Put the miles in, and you will see results.
Entered the marathon on Friday and did my longest run to date on Saturday 16 miles how the hell am i going to run another 10 miles on top of that.
Got the liverpool half on Sunday and then i will start proper training schedule hope to do sub 3.30.
