3 Days To Marathon Day :D:D

KMS - I've no idea how you do a 100 mile race, I was pushing my limits totting up a 100 mile week earlier in the year - the thought of compressing that into just over 1 day is mind boggling!:eek:

Mascott - Thanks for the that, a bit of luck is always gladly received when doing a marathon. It looks like you're starting to enjoy parkruns as much as us!:D

BeerTins - Good to see you're still keeping those legs ticking over!:D

Krider - What Becky says basically!

UK - 2 months and it wont be over, you'll be thinking about the next one...;)

KMS- 100miles wow:T the thought of having to do 26 is making me feel sick:eek: Have you done it before? Amazing.

On the point of alcohol, is it just me or after a long run does anyone else need a beer? - its all I want after a long run (and i'm not usually a larger drinker!) Its the first thing I have- prob not sensible but even before water- that and a lion bar!

Alias, Just go and enjoy the run ( I know easier said than done!) I've been getting really stressed with runs not going as planned recently, until it hit me that I started running (and kept it up) to get fit loose weight and because I found I really enjoyed it- it made me feel good. And that feeling good and having fun is far more important than times. The crowd will get you round

Good luck for all those racing over the next few days, not sure I will get chance to get back on here before Mon.

Really noticed the change in weather this morning- sun was shining but sooo cold, kept a fleece on for all 6miles!- loved it though

Sorry if missed anything or anyone- my brain struggles to hold info for long!

I've been trying to figure out how many time I would have to run round a standard running track to have run 1 mile. According to t'interweb thee are 1,609.344 meters in a mile (1 mile = 1,609.344 meters). So that means you only have to run round a standard four times to run a mile, right?

Sorry, it's not that I can't do the maths, rather that my mental image of a mile was about ten times round the track. That's not bad at all!

P.S. Can't you tell I'm a novice?!

Using the plan i linked to earlier with a little bit of adapting over the next 33 weeks (inc this week) i'll be running 1700 miles in total. Lowest weekly mileage 32 peaking at 75 miles a week. Gradual enough build up with a rolling 3 weeks hard one week cut back throughout. Best thing is the two races i want to do next year are both in the middle of a 3 week hard block.

Most i have done to date is 47 miles in 10 and a bit hours in a 12 hour track race. Did do 43 miles in a 24 hour track race in 13 hours but stopped early as my leg was being a sod.

According to the plan Xmas week is a cut back week and neither Xmas day or New years day have any runs on them as they are Rest days Handy being i normally drive home from the parents on new years day.

105 laps plus half a lap more i think is a marathon on the track. If that helps put things into perspective. 402 laps plus a bit extra is 100 miles.

:rolleyes: .... You will have to ask me that on the 9th Nov.

Soon im going to lose 3 nights "hopefully" ov my week. ( maybe even 4 ) so I doubt that I will be running anywhere near as much as I have been..... untill I get a job that fits round it all.

Ill still run no doubt but might just be targeting 1/2's and not fulls.

oh and KMS your nuts man..... lol

Very similar to my plans, KMS - but I'm still not doing a 100 mile race however much you try to tempt me!:p

After Sunday the plan is to have 5 weeks doing very little, capped off with a run round the cabbage patch with UK.

Then back into training - 9 weeks of big mileage with no speedwork other than the parkruns and the odd couple of other races. Mileage for this 9 weeks will be in the region of 100,100,80,100,100,80,100,100,80.

That mileage base will then be taken into a strengthening phase which will incude one bulk interval session and one long rhythm run per week - average mileage 70-75 miles per week.

Finally, a short sharpening phase at around 60-65 miles per week consisting of speed intervals and several races at around 10K to 10 miles.

And then we'll see what sort of time that delivers...:D:D
