Thanks Keiran - the race didn't start until 12 noon by which time the sun was well and truly out - lovely countryside to run through though . Have checked the results and I came 154th out of 485 runners which puts me inside the top third finishers so a lot happier now!
I do have one question..when you're getting your post-race kit together, is it over-ambitious to expect to want to wear a pair of boots with a heel or is your body just begging for comfy runners??? Not sure what to pack for the post race kit. Sorry if there was a post on this already but 485 pages is a lot to get through!
Got my thinking cap on and looked at hotels... Best deal I can come up with at the moment in terms of location cost etc etc etc.. is the Hotel Ibis which is 1.3km from the start/finish area... costs will be about 97€ per room + breakfast €9 per person + Tax de Séjour 1€ per person per night So single room Thurs - Tues (5…
Welsome back Hana, are you wearing your nurses uniform for us lads as discussed 485 posts back!!!! LL, Maybe we should turn up at the Expo with a big banner saying "We Want That Lad" then just hang around his stand, im sure he will find us very quickly, then have us ushered out by security!
S-B-R - I thought a day not spent running was a rest day. As one who once went 485 running days without a rest I would say that a rest is not for wimps but can be an intelligent decision to improve one's training. Lizzy - you sounded depleted in that race. Still, 3rd is 3rd and well done for hanging on. Nice snogging…
failing that (and i really hope you can get the NHS thing to work but..) if you go private and outfit called www.alliancemedical.co.uk are quoting £485 for an MRI scan of any one area of the body http://www.alliancemedical.co.uk/patient_arranging.html also these people seem to offer a similar service…
Hi Everyone! I know this will have been covered somewhere before but I am trying to book a hotel for this - either near the start or near the gare du nord where we get in on the Eurostar. Can anyone recommend (reasonably budget - guest house or something is fine) places or could someone IT minded link me to the right page…
Anyway - here's a question for you all. How marathons have you run and in what (number) race did you run your PB? I'm going to guess it was quite early on... So, Bazza'a running tips: number 485. How you run today is a product of every run you've ever done but equally number 486: You only have so many 'good' miles in your…
DD - junk mileage? Don't understand... Do you mean aerobic base mileage? Very little need for rest days IMHO. However some people think it's a case of either hard running or rest. I run hard twice per week and do lots of easy miles in between to maintain my base. Maybe 1 rest day per month if life gets in the way. I once…
