Hi Jac, you can DEFINITELY do a half! If I can then so can you. (not that I've actually done it yet of course....... ) As long as you give yourself enough time and slowly up the distance you run you'll suprise yourself. I have! I started running 1 year ago and I would have never believed, at age 46 and 16 stone that i'd be…
I'm a fairly light (10stone 12lb) 46 year old over-pronator, so not sure this is much help to Jon, but may be of interest to Bryan. My 10K time is 43 min. I currently wear Saucony Grid Omnis for road training & most road races. For track work & races up to 10K I wear asics DS Trainer VIII. The asics work out fine for me &…
The nurse who rang also said I must get new doc (moved away) and didn;t really tell me much else. The doc said that woman my age (46) have non ovulating periods much like teenage girls but didn't offer anything else. I wouldn't take hormones anyway, so don't know what else to do - she did mention neurofen. But how can I…
Hi David: In answer to your question, and if this years route is the same as last.. its generally a very gentle, but noticeable uphill incline for the first 6 miles, followed by a gentle, but noticeable downhill trend for the remaining half! Lots of folk running negative splits, or finding a second wind at the 7 mile point…
Nothing wrong with claiming a course best TD2! It was my 9th and fastest time at Wycombe and I'm as pleased as that as I was by my overall half marathon PB back in Feb. Whichever way you look at it it's a tough course, and for those who managed a PB on it - well done, but get yourselves onto a flat HM ASAP and lower it by…
I'm back home having spent only just over 24 hours there. Had an OK race finishing in 2:57:46. Didn't really notice the heat (generally I struggle in heat) but did find it a little tough from 30km onwards - I was glad I'd been warned about the last hill, but also found the little cobbled streets quite hard. A fantastically…
Oops slightly missed the midnight cut-off but have had a busy day! What : Shopping in morning (New hi-fi and a separate turntable plus loads of furniture for lounge ... almost £600 spent, nice work!). : To recover from shopping ... 22 miles in 2:46:07. First long run which has sneaked outside 7:30 pace but I finished…
What: 3 miles steady am (19:52) // 7.5 miles fartlek/hill repeats pm (46:23) Why: Bit of miles, but also speedwork session day - missed the club one. Last hard: Tonight Last rest: Yesterday Decent runs today. Steady few miles in the morning, but I had an evening sleep and missed the club session so devised my own. Quality…
I have 9 marathons under my belt with a best of 3:44 set in Edinburgh in 2009. I also set pbs for 5k ( 21:04) and 10 miles ( 1:13:51) in 2009. I am 46 and feel i can make a good attempt at breaking 3 hours one day. I have seen some Schedules which seem to rely on high mileage but i think the key is doing regular speed…
