Becky - yes I do, and contemplating a second hot FLM on Sunday! I was there in the year 2007.....eek. :eek:

I AM glad I went out tonight - but it was scary to think that in 5 days time I have to run 10 times the distance :eek:

It will be nice after FLM to just go for a run without any pressure........I think

I agree about running just for the fun of it. I decided not to run at all this week as I have a niggly foot. Tapering doesn't suit me though, I get too antsy!

Nope its not going to be hot - I am going to do a rain dance

2007 was the fabled year of terrible heat - noooooooo *becky mumbles* Its going to rain, its going to rain

On another note - wow the thread is fascinating if terrifying:

Oh well, that 's sorted as I'm doing a rain dance too! Sorry, I don't CARE about the supporters (well, I do a bit, sorry family.... ) but give me a cooling breeze and a steady drizzle and I'll be a happy marathon runner!!

Just looked at that link Becky - think it may be too late for me to improve my marathon time!! I've been using a Sam Murphy programme for this one (I trust her) - have you been following a schedule Becky?

Forgetmenot - Rich did my plan a very long while back as I was a complete novice (before I even had an FLM place ) then I sponged a load of info off him and re-worked it in Jan myself to fit the general principles into my life/training etc

Its interesting that all the women on that thread find speedwork really tough - makes me feel loads better

Cant wait to start apply some MG tips and info to my next build up

I'm defintely going to try the long run followed by a recovery run and the speed sessions at shorter distances now I am fitter - its great having a base to work from this time

And also the long warm ups then racing and using hill sessions as a medium paced (just below threshold level) session - oooo exciting

Tut, tut Sally!!:p:p


So how are you feeling now with all the hard work behind you?

I know you've got a marathon on Sunday, but the next 3-4 weeks are going to be a breeze compared to the training thats gone before.:D

As always, dont forget the number one priority - Vaseline!:p

Like I could/should have done more but on the other hand confident and up for the challenge. Wonder how many others are feeling they could have done more...do you think Paula thinks this too before a race?

Have just added vaseline to the list..had forgotten that one!
