Dear RW, I am currently injured having worn everything but Saucony shoes. I have been told that Saucony are the only shoe for me. Nothing, I say NOTHING other than Saucony will do. WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE THE BEST.... But sadly the 23 children I have to feed and clothe come before such luxuries together with the care my…
Thank you guys. You definitely kept me going, knowing Iwould see you at mile 17 and I was still smiling this time. I managed to keep smiling this year and beat my last time by 20mins so really chuffed and no wall! I missed a few mile markers as I thought I was approaching mile 22 when in fact it was mile 23 that was a huge…
Times are on the website: My official is 1:22:21. Swim 8:58 Bike 46:23 Run 27:00 Interesting info when I look at the splits and those of the people around me. My bike time is around 3 minutes faster while my run is about 3 mins slower. That seems to stick out, does this mean I was just good on the bike or bad on the run or…
Gaz..I am currently using the Air Span Triax version 3, after 6 weeks use they have never given me the slightest problem. They are for me the ideal type of shoe, i.e. you forget about them once they are laced up. Fortunately I have a neutral footplant but as I tend to train 5/6 days a week I find the support and cushioning…
Greeings all, Back from WCTT.... And a nice shiney new PB..... not for me but for RFJ Jnr, He ran a cracking race, his last outing at BPTT was 24:16 a couple of months back. Well he was a pocket rocket today and a very proud Dad, he produced in wet conditions a 23:07.…
I stepped back a little from a consulting job where I'd be working a minimum 9-5, but with travelling it tended to be more like 6-8. Didn't see the kids during the week, and training? Forget it. Changed jobs a year ago. First new job was a complete nightmare - finances in a right muddle, and pressure put on me to act…
Shore shins my biggest problem were the blisters and I have no idea why I got them having never had them before and it was shoes I had used in training. It meant that I just couldn't run at all. If I had been able to run/walk I would have made the cut off. I do need to improve on the bike big time. And the swim can always…
Well it's roughly based on a 23 week marathon training plan for Dublin http://www.ultra-fitmagazine.com/PDFs/beginners/Marathon%20Training%20Plan.pdf I adjusted LSR's around work schedule and holiday. As I was doing higher mileage at the start anyway I concentrated on hill/interval/tempo runs to try and get my speed up…
I disprove all race predicter charts. I've only done 3 races: my first a 10K in 43 minutes and this was before I joined a club and started doing speed training, so I ought to be able to beat that now. that was Brighton last November. 2nd Race: Tunbridge Wells half Marathon (February I think) in 1:43, running what I felt…
