I think the RW pages need updating but i've been on other mag forums and thety're nothing like this one. There's a huge amount of people sharing experiences which is lovely, asics comp or not. The voting ends tomorrow midday so you can prob expect it all to quiet down soon!…
I run with my jack russell too and hope he's scare people off, ankle biter that he is. I've been ogled and shouted at too. Once I was even pushed into a wall by a couple of drunken students which was really unpleasant! Don't let it put you off though, just make sure people know your route and keep your phone with you.…
Hi Carterusm I will be honest with you that my practical experience in fat adaptation is limited as my typical work is with Olympic sports but I have used this with a couple of ultra-distance runners but never advised or undertake this with a marathon runner so my advice is more theory. It would be perhaps be useful if you…
hi. I'm new to the forums but took part in the Thunder Run in 2011 and 2012 I made a video after the 2011 event, have a look and see if you can spot yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrfFr7Kl8U Also, I'm in the Asics262 competition and need votes in the sub 3 cat, if you like the video and fancy voting for me,…
Haha - I think the number refers to how many minutes you intend to finish the marathon in! 102 minutes for 26.2 miles is an impressive ambition . I can't remember what I've put down for my time now ... hmm ... . Btw, when are you starting your marathon training in earnest? I was thinking of starting a 16-week plan (e.g.…
Buxton running bunny wrote (see) Lol at Ant McNeill!!!! Inflexoman... I might vote for you just for that comment alone! Thanks Brb! I would have absolutely no objections to this !

hello sub 3 forum people. Just thought I'd come say hello as I'm one of the final 3 in the Asics 26.2 competition. Has anyone run Paris before? I've heard stories of cobbled streets. If you would like to vote, I've created my own forum thread within Spring Marathons, with some more info about me or you can vote on this…
welcome back Zonda Hi Magic, '800s' "really" bloodyhell I am really happy with that effort now. Just need to back it up with a decent half on Saturday now. On the high sugar drinks - I tried that at on the build up to Manchester last year, but it made me ill. I'm just a freak myprotein do a starch drink and a oat drink…
Raises and drops are for strengthening, rather than stretching, aren't they? It just sounds like you need to be a bit more systematic about it. Three separate muscles to stretch: http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/target262/asics-video/stretching-the-calves/12780.html Also, if you stretch them out and they seem to tighten up…
Malcs the 1.34 was the RPH October but you are right I didnt give it much training and not done one since I was ill. I would hope to knock a chunk off. Once i know what next year looks like race wise then I will set my goals out. I am entered in Dorney again though, love that race. Core link here The Running…
