Berlin Marathon 2013

Iain - 200, what?!

Orbutt - it sounds like you're Dr No making a super evil mutant plan!!

RS - I think Iain was claiming post no 200.

More like Dr Maybe

oh 200 posts...sorry, so used to the paris thread doing that in a day that it's only the 1000s that get me excited anymore.

hee hee hee, Dr Maybe...and "No Mr Bond I have a reasonable expectation that you will die...maybe..."

Well done Sticky88! Will keep fingers crossed for you. Is it your running club that has organised the competition? Is it the same park run for next five weeks?

Thanks Dotty1. It's organised by Lucozade. Run or volunteer all 6 parkuns (any) until end of the year and we're in for a chance of one of 2 places at the VLM. 2nd chance for me after failing the ballot yet again!

My Berlin training must be underway - watched Run Lola Run last week...

DLR - it's on my to watch list but I've never got around to it. Must make up for that

Run Rob Run.

Much better...!

I have previously followed the 'Run Less, Run Faster' sched....(but I really couldn't run any less than I am at present) -what is the P & D ?

EHN - P & D is Pfitzinger and Douglas. They brought out a book called Advanced Marathoning which is very detailed - and a bit complicated - but includes a number of plans.

They definately do not belong to the 'Run Less...' school - in fact I cannot fit in some of the midweek mileages that make up their plans. This is why it is only part of my plan.

Thanks Orbutt -by the sounds of it my Less and Faster is much more me

Berlin Marathon App

This might be of interest to some..though you'll have to cut and paste (can't seem to attach link)  or it can be found on the Berlin Marathon Site under 'service'

If anyone hasn't booked accomation yet, try looking at apartments, 4 of us are going and they are a lot cheaper than hotels.   Flying out Fri from Manc, coming back Monday evening.  2nd marathon, and looking forward to it.,

Anyone on the Lufthansa flights from Manchester, I have just had an email to advise of change of times from late evening to Lunchtimes

Thanks EHN for the link, tho I can't download the app on mine as my phone is obviously not smart enough!

Sir John and dawsey67 , I'm flying out of Manchester on Friday too, although I've just got yet another email from Lufthansa with yet another change in flight times!!! Good news is I now managed to get direct flights with them that is of a sensible time . Until the next Lufthansa email....

Good luck dawsey67 with the London training. I'm looking forward to my 2nd of 6 Parkrun tomorrow to get in the chance for a VLM place!

Yup - got the change of times email too.

No major problem, just a bit annoying that they keep changing things
