Snowdonia Marathon 2012

Frodo same here will be out in them hills for a while, am I bothered not!! PW here I come

Good news TR40 - ta for the message - let me know if you fancy a gentle run/catch up along the prom sometime!

My son was pretty sick the last time we went to Pete's Eats - personally I think it is over-rated/hyped - would much prefer to support Snowdonia Snail's cafe - Y Pantri - delicious home made soup & cakes and the best coffee in Llanberis (if not North Wales!!)

Fabulous Chester results everyone, and good running elsewhere as well. Just under 22 miles on Saturday for me and now its Tapir time....

Overall mileage is better than last year, faster on shorter runs than last year, no back jip unlike last year, I just hope the limited hill work is enough and it'll be 3rd time lucky for a sub 4 hr.

Glad to hear Mrs TR40 is better and you'll be plodding round TR40. Whatever time you get has to be better than a day on the sofa. I'm sure us slower runners have it harder than the speed merchants who's sufferring is much shorter

And on the topic of earphones - miles 8 to 22 are on roads shared with cars so I reckon they'd be a very bad idea. And you wouldn't hear the supporters offerring you cookies !!

JD stretching does not bother it still using ice today

BRER I'm not totally dumb but what exactly is spin class

MEGAHILLY  sorry just a typing blip,hope your injury calms down

Can't wait for the big day, running up to Pen-y-pass, don't think I will be so joyful getting over the pass back to Llanberis though

i'm looking forward to that last big hill cos once i'm at the top i'm nearly there

Frodo  i am - thanks

Brer - prepared as i'll ever be and ready to go

MC - not sure a sub 4 counts as slow but i guess it depends who your comparing to

well the good news is that my legs appear to be talking to me today ... the bad news is that the language is still somewhat industrial in nature !!!

Not sure if it was a good idea or not but took a look at the course profile today   ....

MEGALILY  i think you done plenty of hill work you don't want to anoy your shins any more than you need to

Bruce-

4.15m tonight- even came close to running a sub 9 minute mile at one stage Lots of stretching reluctant hamstrings afterwards

Oh the mighty Snod is approaching..when I see posts about eateries pre-event, I know it's nearly here. On the subject of Pete's Eats, I was a little disappointed last year but can mightily recommend Pantri  Fuelled up there for Snowdon race in July, cheers Snowdon Snail.

MM61-spin is static cycling for 50 mins with some some nutter screaming at you that if you don't puke, you aren't trying hard enough. Seriously, it is a dam good burn out when injured from running.

Anyway, latest news on the Brer front..fancied a 26.2 jogathon on Sunday after someone I know pulled out of Leicester marathon......so I now have their place...

Brer - i don't know how you do it

3 nice easy flat miles for me last night in beautiful evening sunshine

Hope Snowdonia Snail has had an extension built for on the day he's going to be packed out - everytime Mr C looks down about his 5-6 hours of exile in Llanberis while i have a little run about i tell him about Pantri - last night i passed on JB's comment about it having the best coffee and cake and he cheered up no end

Do we need to send out a rescue party for T-Rex?????

BRER i think i will pass on that if its ok with you

JD going to try a jog to see how it feels

7.15 miles done hamstring better than monday still tight but only the odd twinge for pain upto 43 miles so far this month,poor on here but good by my lazy standards

i will be having a go at the cardiff half marathon this sunday after all
